On my back, in a sense unacknowledged (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anonymous

'unacknowledged' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'on my back in a sense' is the wordplay.
'back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'sense' becomes 'nous' (nous is a kind of sense).
'my' back-to-front is 'ym'.
'on'+'ym'='onym'
'a'+'nous'='anous'
'onym' put within 'anous' is 'ANONYMOUS'.

(Other definitions for anonymous that I've seen before include "Of unknown identity" , "Nameless" , "Unidentified" , "Not identified by name" , "Incognito" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
