Crossword Genius

Get front of Turkish rug (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

twig

'get' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'front of turkish rug' is the wordplay.
'front of' suggests taking the first letters.
'rug' becomes 'wig' ('rug' is an informal term for a wig).
The first letter of 'turkish' is 't'.
't'+'wig'='TWIG'

(Other definitions for twig that I've seen before include "Small piece of tree" , "Small part of a branch - suddenly understand" , "Small tree shoot" , "Understand; sprig" , "bit of stick" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
