Crossword Genius

Girl in Kashmir isolating (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iris

'girl' is the definition.

'in kashmir isolating' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'IRIS' is hidden in the letters of 'kashmir isolating'.

(Other definitions for iris that I've seen before include "Eye diaphragm" , "Coloured part of the lamp" , "Flower - rainbow" , "Rainbow-goddess" , "Lily" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
