Crossword Genius

Primate called, taken in by published article (5-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orang-utan

'primate' is the definition.
(orang-utan is a kind of primate)

'called taken in by published article' is the subsidiary indication.
'called' becomes 'rang' ('ring' can be a synonym of 'call').
'taken in by' is an insertion indicator.
'published' becomes 'out' (I've seen this in other clues).
'article' becomes 'an' (example of the part-of-speech).
'rang' put into 'out' is 'orangut'.
'orangut'+'an'='orangutan'

(Other definitions for orang-utan that I've seen before include "Ape of Borneo and Sumatra" , "Great ape" , "11 across" , "Endangered primate" , "Angora nut for long-armed ape of Burma" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
