Lie in wait and attack (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ambush

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">lie in wait and attack</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for ambush that I've seen before include "Wait in hiding to attack" , "An attack launched from hiding" , "Launch attack from cover" , "Egyptian cross" , "Waylaying" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and The Mirror.
