Moisten wreath regularly (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wet

'moisten' is the definition.
(I know that moisten is a more specific form of the action wet)

'wreath regularly' is the wordplay.
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
The alternate letters of 'wreath' are 'WET'.

(Other definitions for wet that I've seen before include "Saturated with liquid" , "Rainy (weather)" , "Soaked with water" , "Soaked with liquid" , "Saturated; rainy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
