Woman kept veiled by fundamentalist (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dame

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

'woman' is the definition.
(dame can mean a woman)

'veiled by fundamentalist' is the wordplay.
'DAME' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.

'kept' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dame that I've seen before include "Woman" , "Titled lady" , "She's played by a man in panto" , "Female equivalent of a knight" , "Lady's title" .)

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