Walloping in secret? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hiding

I believe this is a double definition.

'walloping' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'secret?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hiding that I've seen before include "Place of concealment" , "Beating; keeping out of sight" , "Hushing up" , "Evading capture," , "Suppressing" .)

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