Hired parts necessary for automatic camera (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ticca

'hired' is the definition.
(Indian term for 'hired')

'parts necessary for automatic camera' is the wordplay.
'parts necessary for' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the letters needed to write the clue).
'TICCA' is hidden in the letters of 'automatic camera'.

(Another definition for ticca that I've seen is " hired".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
