Suggestion some present in German (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tinge

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

'some present in german' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'TINGE' can be found hidden inside 'present in german'.

(Other definitions for tinge that I've seen before include "Slight amount of colour" , "Slight trace; colour" , "Slight tint" , "A colourful" , "Colour slightly; trace" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
