Part of the leg a bit higher than the knee (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thigh

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

'part of the leg' is the definition.
('thigh' is part of 'leg')

'a bit higher than the knee' is the wordplay.
'THIGH' is hidden within the letters.
But, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thigh that I've seen before include "Part of member" , "part of body" , "Femoral leg part" , "top of pin" , "Leg between knee and hip" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
