Pain concealed by bachelor (4)

I believe the answer is:

ache

'pain' is the definition.
(ache is a kind of pain)

'concealed by bachelor' is the wordplay.
'concealed by' indicates a hidden word.
'ACHE' is hidden in the letters of 'bachelor'.

(Other definitions for ache that I've seen before include "Dull prolonged pain" , "agony" , "suffering" , "Longing" , "Dull throbbing pain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
