Crossword Genius

Lies in the forest, somewhere (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rests

'lies' is the definition.
('rest' can be a synonym of 'lie')

'in the forest somewhere' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'RESTS' can be found hidden inside 'forest somewhere'.

(Other definitions for rests that I've seen before include "holidays" , "Takes a break" , "Relaxes; supports" , "Reposes" , "Relaxes, sleeps" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
