Crossword Genius

Procured from begging, otherwise (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

got

'procured' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'from begging otherwise' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'GOT' can be found hidden inside 'begging otherwise'.

(Other definitions for got that I've seen before include "came by" , "Caught" , "Acquired" , "Received; understood" , "Obtained" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
