Rubbish from Dorothy (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rot

'rubbish' is the definition.
(both can mean nonsense)

'from dorothy' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'ROT' can be found hidden inside 'dorothy'.

(Other definitions for rot that I've seen before include "Decay, wither" , "Drivel" , "Informal nonsense" , "Decay, moulder" , "Codswallop" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
