Fashionable company try circumventing twit in camouflage? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

incognito

'camouflage?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'fashionable company try circumventing twit' is the wordplay.
'fashionable' becomes 'in' (in can mean fashionable or trendy).
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'try' becomes 'go' (both can mean an attempt).
'circumventing' is an insertion indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'twit' becomes 'nit' (both can mean a stupid person).
'go' placed around 'nit' is 'gnito'.
'in'+'co'+'gnito'='INCOGNITO'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for incognito that I've seen before include "Keeping one's identity a secret" , "hiding identity" , "as something else" , "under another name" , "Camouflaged" .)
