Lying about number etc (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recumbent

'lying' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'about number etc' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'number'+'etc'='numberetc'
'numberetc' with letters rearranged gives 'RECUMBENT'.

(Other definitions for recumbent that I've seen before include "Lying down comfortably" , "flat?" .)

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