Take some detours in expectation of bears (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ursine

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

'take some detours in expectation' is the wordplay.
'take some' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'URSINE' is hidden within 'detours in expectation'.

(Other definitions for ursine that I've seen before include "Describing Pooh or Yogi?" , "Relating to bears" , "with grizzly features?" , "like a character in 14 across [=>BEAR]" , "Bearlike" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
