Where in hope we take a seat (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pew

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

'seat' is the definition.
(pew is a kind of seat)

'where in hope we take a' is the wordplay.
'PEW' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pew that I've seen before include "Long church seat" , "Where some of the flock rest" , "Long bench in a church" , "Bench-like seat in a church" , "Part of flock sitting here" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
