Part of body buried in rich earth (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heart

'part of body' is the definition.
('heart' is part of 'body')

'buried in rich earth' is the wordplay.
'buried in' indicates a hidden word.
'HEART' is hidden in the letters of 'rich earth'.

(Other definitions for heart that I've seen before include "show enthusiasm" , "Middle" , "Vital organ - centre - courage" , "the name of a prison in Midlothian!" , "Earth (anag) -- compassion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
