Monster really will sacrifice wings to be human (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

err

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

'be human' is the definition.
(to err is human, to forgive divine)

'monster really will sacrifice wings' is the wordplay.
'ERR' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for err that I've seen before include "Miscalculate" , "Miss the mark" , "Make a wrong move" , "do something you shouldn't" , "'To . . . is human, to forgive divine'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
