Slide around top (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lid

'top' is the definition.
(I know that lid is a type of top)

'slide around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates a hidden word.
'LID' is hidden in the letters of 'slide'.

(Other definitions for lid that I've seen before include "Cover from gliders" , "Bottle or jar top" , "Cover for box or eye" , "Pie crust; cover" , "Cover for box or pot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
