Let it stand in for an obstetrician (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stet

'let it stand' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in for an obstetrician' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'STET' can be found hidden inside 'for obstetrician'.

(Other definitions for stet that I've seen before include "indicates second thoughts are not always better" , "cancel amendment" , "Instruction to ignore amendment" , "Let it stand - printer's mark" , "Ignore altered material" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
