Border of hedges (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edge

'border' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'of hedges' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'EDGE' is hidden in the letters of 'hedges'.

(Other definitions for edge that I've seen before include "Margin, outside limit" , "Rim or slight advantage" , "Rim or sharp side of knife" , "Side, brink" , "Guitarist with U2" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
