Kick husband in enclosed compartment (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

booth

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'enclosed compartment' is the definition.
'booth' can be an answer for 'compartment' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'enclosed' bit.

'kick husband' is the wordplay.
'kick' becomes 'boot' (booting is a kind of kicking).
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'boot'+'h'='BOOTH'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for booth that I've seen before include "Killer of president" , "Cubicle - Salvation Army founder" , "Army leader" , "Temporary shelter" , "Market stall; small shop" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
