Label in new seed bed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

describe

'label' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'in new seed bed' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'bed' becomes 'crib' (I've seen this before**).
'seed' anagrammed gives 'dese'.
'dese' enclosing 'crib' is 'DESCRIBE'.

(Other definitions for describe that I've seen before include "Portray in words" , "Paint in words" , "Draw (figure); give account of" , "Provide image" , "style" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
