Crossword Genius

Grab form of crow (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brag

'crow' is the definition.
(I know that crow is a more specific form of the action brag)

'grab form' is the wordplay.
'form' is an anagram indicator (another form of the letters).
'grab' anagrammed gives 'BRAG'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for brag that I've seen before include "Idle talk" , "Show off, crow" , "Boast about garb" , "popular with 15 [EGOTIST] , no doubt" , "Boast ? card-game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
