Language in another verse (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erse

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

'language' is the definition.
(historical term for Scottish Gaelic)

'another verse' is the wordplay.
'ERSE' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am uncertain how this is indicated.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for erse that I've seen before include "Old Celtic language" , "Old language spoken by strange seer" , "Kind of Gaelic for seer" , "Possibly the language" , "Old Gaelic for the seer" .)
