Procured in Ealing, otherwise (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

got

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

'in ealing otherwise' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'GOT' can be found hidden inside 'ealing otherwise'.

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

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
