High in an attic (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aloft

'high' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'an attic' is the wordplay.
'an' becomes 'a'.
'attic' becomes 'loft' (synonyms).
'a'+'loft'='ALOFT'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aloft that I've seen before include "Up in the sky" , "at high altitude" , "as 1 ac [PEGASUS] was?" , "In the rigging, up high" , "flying?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
