Some pop a question that's hard to understand (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

opaque

'hard to understand' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'some pop a question' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'OPAQUE' is hidden within 'pop a question'.

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for opaque that I've seen before include "Lacking transparency" , "Nebulous, unclear" , "Puzzling - dull" , "Impenetrable to light" , "Dark" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
