George, in a home, managed to show some resistance (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ohmage

'some resistance' is the definition.
(ohm is the unit of electrical resistance)

'george in a home managed' is the wordplay.
'george' becomes 'g'.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'managed' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'home'='ahome'
'ahome' is an anagram of 'ohmae'.
'g' going into 'ohmae' is 'OHMAGE'.

'to show' acts as a link.

(Another definition for ohmage that I've seen is " measure of resistance".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
