Mixture — it's enclosed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

compound

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'mixture' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'it's enclosed' is the second definition.
(enclosed area)

(Other definitions for compound that I've seen before include "POW camp" , "In this fracture, bone has pierced the skin" , "Combination of elements - make worse - fenced-in area" , "Chemical substance; enclosed space" , "Fenced area; chemical substance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
