Lantern's opening by ten gets wet (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

damp

'wet' is the definition.
(I know that wet can be written as damp)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for damp that I've seen before include "Moist air" , "Slightly moist" , "Somewhat moist" , "soggy" , "Moisture" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
