Old Carthaginian witch? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hag

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

'witch?' is the definition.
(I know that witch can be written as hag)

'old carthaginian' is the wordplay.
'HAG' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hag that I've seen before include "Crone" , "Old witch-like woman" , "Witch or ugly old woman" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
