Soaked parka was hung inside (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

awash

'soaked' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'parka was hung inside' is the wordplay.
'inside' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'AWASH' can be found hidden inside 'parka was hung'.

(Other definitions for awash that I've seen before include "Crawling" , "Letting the 21 in" , "becomes flooded" , "Deluged" , "Flooded with water" .)

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