Idiot fellow has to cover (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clothe

'to cover' is the definition.
('clothe' can be a synonym of 'cover')

'idiot fellow' is the wordplay.
'idiot' becomes 'clot' (I've seen this before).
'fellow' becomes 'he' (I've seen this in other clues).
'clot'+'he'='CLOTHE'

'has' is the link.

(Other definitions for clothe that I've seen before include "Remote area in Mongolia/China" , "Provide with garments" , "robe" , "Invest" , "Dress (someone)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
