Praised twin somersaulting over short boy (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lauded

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

'praised' is the definition.
(lauding is a kind of praising)

'twin somersaulting over short boy' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'boy' could be 'ed' and 'ed' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'laud' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lauded that I've seen before include "Praised and extolled" , "Praised, glorified" , "Praised highly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
