Cover growth seen in constituency strolls (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

encyst

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

'cover growth seen' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'in constituency strolls' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ENCYST' can be found hidden inside 'constituency strolls'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for encyst that I've seen is " surrounded".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
