Hiding in bush, a very young lad (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shaver

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'young lad' is the definition.
'shaver' can be an answer for 'lad' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'young' bit.

'hiding in bush a very' is the wordplay.
'hiding' indicates a hidden word.
'SHAVER' is hidden within 'in bush a very'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shaver that I've seen before include "Electric razor" , "Young lad (dated); razor" , "little boy" , "Boy < barber" , "Hair remover" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
