Shelter from a gale, especially? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lee

'shelter' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'from a gale especially?' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'LEE' can be found hidden inside 'gale especially'.

(Other definitions for lee that I've seen before include "The sheltered side of something" , "The sheltered side - of Cork's river?" , "Area sheltered from the wind" , "Protection" , "Sheltered from the wind in Cork, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
