Hail lovely ground (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

volley

'hail' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'lovely ground' is the wordplay.
'ground' indicates an anagram (grind the letters ).
'lovely' is an anagram of 'VOLLEY'.

(Other definitions for volley that I've seen before include "Simultaneous discharge of a number of firearms" , "Lovely kind of tennis stroke" , "Shot played before the ball bounces" , "Lovely (anag.)" , "Cannonade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
