Maiden seen possibly by husband on net (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enmesh

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

'maiden seen possibly by husband' is the wordplay.
'maiden' becomes 'm' (cricket abbreviation).
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'm'+'seen'='mseen'
'mseen' with letters rearranged gives 'enmes'.
'enmes'+'h'='ENMESH'

'on' is the link.

(Other definitions for enmesh that I've seen before include "get in a tangle" , "Never growing old" , "Men she changed to entangle" , "Catch in toils" , "Make tangled or snarled" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
