Crossword Genius

In dismay, bellow, possibly (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maybe

'possibly' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'in dismay bellow' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'MAYBE' can be found hidden inside 'dismay bellow'.

(Other definitions for maybe that I've seen before include "Perhaps, possibly" , "Perhaps, might happen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
