Look in tears, somehow? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stare

'look' is the definition.
(staring is a kind of looking)

'tears somehow?' is the wordplay.
'somehow?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'somehow' mean this).
'tears' anagrammed gives 'STARE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stare that I've seen before include "Long fixed look" , "Look with fixed gaze" , "'Look fixedly, without blinking (5)'" , "Look hard" , "Look with fixed eyes" .)
