State that vagabond's hiding (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gabon

'state' is the definition.
(Gabon is an example)

'that vagabond's hiding' is the wordplay.
'hiding' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'GABON' can be found hidden inside 'that vagabonds'.

(Other definitions for gabon that I've seen before include "W. African republic" , "W. Afr. equatorial state" , "W. African country" , "Republic on the west coast of Africa" , "state of Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
