Wild pig sitting in cupboard (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

boar

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

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

'sitting in cupboard' is the wordplay.
'BOAR' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for boar that I've seen before include "Sow's mate" , "Resting place for birds or bats" , "Uncastrated male hog" , "Wild pig sounds tedious" , "Wild animal, sounds like drill" .)
