Puddle contents getting artist immersed? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swallowed

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

'immersed?' is the definition.
('swallow' can be a synonym of 'immerse')

'puddle contents getting artist' is the wordplay.
'puddle' becomes 'wallow' (wallow is a kind of puddle).
'contents' is an insertion indicator.
'getting artist' becomes 'sed' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'wallow' placed within 'sed' is 'SWALLOWED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for swallowed that I've seen before include "believed" , "Meekly accepted" , "Ingested" , "drunk maybe" , "Gulped" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
