Somehow enrol a hermit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loner

'a hermit' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'somehow enrol' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'enrol' is an anagram of 'LONER'.

(Other definitions for loner that I've seen before include "One preferring to act individually" , "Solitary individual, prefers own company" , "He's not a joiner" , "person, one hating company" , "Introvert" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
