Help lobster being cooked (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bolster

'help' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'lobster being cooked' is the wordplay.
'being cooked' indicates an anagram (letters cooked into a new form).
'lobster' is an anagram of 'BOLSTER'.

(Other definitions for bolster that I've seen before include "Extended pillow" , "Hold up" , "Support; long pillow" , "Strengthen - long pillow" , "Support - strengthen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
