Tree hugged by Grace Darling (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cedar

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tree' is the definition.
(cedar is a kind of tree)

'hugged by grace darling' is the wordplay.
'CEDAR' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am uncertain how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cedar that I've seen before include "Leaving body" , "representative of Lebanon?" , "Tree (Lebanese?)" , "Raced around a great hardwood tree" , "Cypress-like tree" .)
