Partly hurt rib entering race (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tribe

'race' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'partly hurt rib entering' is the wordplay.
'partly' indicates a hidden word.
'TRIBE' is hidden in the letters of 'hurt rib entering'.

(Other definitions for tribe that I've seen before include "Family - clan" , "Ethnic group" , "Dan maybe" , "A set or class of people, may be primitive" , "Group related by blood or marriage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
