Crossword Genius

Some support I constructed for covered entrance (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

portico

'covered entrance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'some support i constructed' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'PORTICO' is hidden in the letters of 'support i constructed'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for portico that I've seen before include "Posh covered entrance to building" , "gallery, perhaps" , "Colonnade, covered porch" , "Roofed porch" , "Classical porch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
