Maid ran between (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amid

'between' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'maid ran' is the wordplay.
'ran' is an anagram indicator (letters have run around).
'maid' is an anagram of 'AMID'.

(Other definitions for amid that I've seen before include "In the thick of" , "Within" , "Maid (anag)" , "In the middle of" , "'See . . . . the winter's snow' (carol)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
