Hear of snag in contract (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

catch

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'hear of' is the first definition.
(catching is a kind of hearing of)

'snag' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in' is a link.

'contract' is the third definition.
(to catch an illness is to contract it)

(Other definitions for catch that I've seen before include "Capture; hidden problem" , "Discover" , "Accurately detect" , "Hidden drawback" , "Book by Joseph Heller" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
