Sailor seen in Carla's caring embrace (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lascar

'sailor' is the definition.
(lascar is a kind of sailor)

'seen in carla's caring embrace' is the wordplay.
'seen in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'LASCAR' is hidden in the letters of 'carlas caring embrace'.

(Other definitions for lascar that I've seen before include "Eastern sailor" , "The East Indian sailor is a rascal" , "Indiaman Jack" , "Sailor from overseas" , "Asian sailor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
