Revived, finding novel in grass (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

refreshed

'revived' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'novel in grass' is the wordplay.
'novel' becomes 'fresh' (both can mean new).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'grass' becomes 'reed' (type of grass plant).
'fresh' placed within 'reed' is 'REFRESHED'.

'finding' is the link.

(Another definition for refreshed that I've seen is " Updated".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
