River runs into temporary home (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trent

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

'runs into temporary home' is the wordplay.
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'temporary home' becomes 'tent' (I've seen this in other clues).
'r' placed within 'tent' is 'TRENT'.

(Other definitions for trent that I've seen before include "Nottingham's river" , "Chief river of the Midlands" , "Stoke's river" , "running water" , "River flowing through Nottingham" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
