Morph a news segment featuring child without parents (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orphan

'child without parents' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'morph a news segment featuring' is the wordplay.
'featuring' indicates a hidden word.
'ORPHAN' can be found hidden inside 'morph a news segment'.

(Other definitions for orphan that I've seen before include "Child bereft of parents" , "Oliver?" , "Bereaved child" , "ward, perhaps" , "Child without parents" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
