Hole in skin interrupting pink of the body (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

corporeal

'of the body' is the definition.

'hole in skin interrupting pink' is the wordplay.
'hole in skin' becomes 'pore'.
'interrupting' indicates putting letters inside.
'pink' becomes 'coral' (coral is a kind of pink).
'pore' placed into 'coral' is 'CORPOREAL'.

(Other definitions for corporeal that I've seen before include "pink material" , "not spiritual" , "Bodily" , "physical" , "of flesh" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
