Primitive accommodation for hacks? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shack

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

'primitive accommodation' is the definition.
'shack' can be an answer for 'accommodation' (I have seen 'basic accommodation' mean 'shack' so perhaps 'accommodation' could also mean 'shack'). I am not certain of the 'primitive' bit.

'hacks?' is the wordplay.
'hacks' anagrams to 'SHACK'.
Though, I'm unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shack that I've seen before include "Rough hut or cabin" , "Roughly built hut" , "Crude dwelling" , "Hovel" , "basic accommodation" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
