Prostrate during assembly in Germany (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lying

'prostrate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'during assembly in germany' is the wordplay.
'during' indicates a hidden word.
'LYING' is hidden in the letters of 'assembly in germany'.

(Other definitions for lying that I've seen before include "Deceitful" , "Prone - mendacity" , "Telling fibs" , "Mendacious; recumbent" , "not to be trusted?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
