Held in awe although found in abundance. (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wealth

'abundance' is the definition.
(I know that wealth is a type of abundance)

'held in awe although found' is the wordplay.
'held in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'WEALTH' is hidden in the letters of 'awe although found'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for wealth that I've seen before include "An abundance of valuable possessions or money" , "'Riches, affluence (6)'" , "Riches, worldly goods" , "Abundance of resources" , "capital" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
