I get gloomy losing my home (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

igloo

'home' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i get gloomy losing my' is the wordplay.
'get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'losing' suggests deleting specific letters.
'gloomy' with 'my' taken out is 'gloo'.
'i'+'gloo'='IGLOO'

(Other definitions for igloo that I've seen before include "Arctic dwelling" , "Inuit's home" , "Inuit hut" , "Eskimo's home" , "A house up north" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
