Spend the winter in a dormant state (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hibernate

(Other definitions for hibernate that I've seen before include "Breathe in to settle down for winter sleep" , "Of animals, sleep through the winter" , "go out in the snow?" , "Sleep durning winter" , "go dormant" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
