Lift controlled by psycho is tumbling (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hoist

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

'lift' is the definition.
(hoisting is a kind of lifting)

'controlled by psycho is tumbling' is the wordplay.
'HOIST' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hoist that I've seen before include "Lift, raise" , "Device for lifting, often attached to 5 down" , "One that could raise" , "Winch" , "I shot (anag)" .)
