Chatting, holding beret (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hat

'beret' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'chatting holding' is the wordplay.
'holding' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'HAT' is hidden in the letters of 'chatting'.

(Other definitions for hat that I've seen before include "Bowler maybe" , "Headdress" , "Item of headgear" , "opera?" , "Accessory" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
