Large bird obtainable from the grocer (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roc

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

'large bird' is the definition.
(mythical giant bird)

'obtainable from the grocer' is the wordplay.
'ROC' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for roc that I've seen before include "Arabian Nights bird" , "fabulous bird is seen" , "Gigantic bird of eastern legend - cor!" , "Huge mythical bird of prey" , "Big bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
