Crossword Genius

This girl is hugged by sailor, naturally (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lorna

'this girl' is the definition.

'is hugged by sailor naturally' is the wordplay.
'is hugged by' indicates a hidden word.
'LORNA' is hidden in the letters of 'sailor naturally'.

(Other definitions for lorna that I've seen before include "and 21 Down: Novel by R.D. Blackmore" , "Female" , "-- Doone (book)" , "girl" , "-- Doone, novel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
