Crossword Genius

Sign from galleon (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leo

'sign' is the definition.
(star sign)

'from galleon' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'LEO' is hidden in the letters of 'galleon'.

(Other definitions for leo that I've seen before include "certain stars" , "one of several popes" , "Cancer, ___, Virgo" , "Man" , "Horoscope sign" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
