Limped out of hollow (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dimple

'hollow' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'limped out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'limped' anagrammed gives 'DIMPLE'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dimple that I've seen before include "cheekily attractive feature" , "Fleshy dent" , "Small depression in flesh" , "Small natural hollow in a cheek" , "Small hollow in cheek or chin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
