Crossword Genius

Hide issue with family (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kidskin

'hide' is the definition.
(type of goat hide)

'issue with family' is the wordplay.
'issue' becomes 'kids' (issue can mean someone's offspring).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'family' becomes 'kin' (synonyms).
'kids'+'kin'='KIDSKIN'

(Another definition for kidskin that I've seen is " Hide material".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
