Members felt sensitive about a snuggle (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nestle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'snuggle' is the definition.
(I know that snuggle can be written as nestle)

'members felt sensitive about a' is the wordplay.
'NESTLE' is hidden back-to-front in amongst the letters.
But, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nestle that I've seen before include "Snuggle up, settle in comfortably" , "Cuddle into soft place" , "Huddle (together)" , "Be snug as a baby bird" , "Snuggle or curl up" .)

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