Mask some of one's chagrin? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'mask some' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'one's chagrin?' is the wordplay.
'GRIN' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for grin that I've seen before include "Smirk" , "show ivories happily with it" , "Smile while pulling back the lips" , "Beam" , "Facial expression showing amusement or pleasure" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
