Something implanted inside group (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inset

'something implanted' is the definition.
(something set in something else)

'inside group' is the wordplay.
'inside' becomes 'in'.
'group' becomes 'set' (both can mean a collection).
'in'+'set'='INSET'

(Other definitions for inset that I've seen before include "Placed inside" , "Something put into something else" , "Additional insert" , "Photographic cameo superimposed on to another print" , "Piece let into a garment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
