Primate spin-dries clothes (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

indri

'primate' is the definition.
(indri is a kind of primate)

'spin-dries clothes' is the wordplay.
'clothes' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the letters clothe the hidden word).
'INDRI' is hidden within 'spin dries'.

(Other definitions for indri that I've seen before include "Large Madagascan lemur" , "Short-tailed lemur of Madagascar" , "Species of lemur" , "large primate" , "Animal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
