Crossword Genius

Lover of chrome, oddly (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

romeo

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

'of chrome oddly' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'ROMEO' can be found hidden inside 'chrome oddly'.

(Other definitions for romeo that I've seen before include "Juliet's swain" , "Comms code for R" , "Lover boy" , "Dashing lover" , "He's a letter read out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
