It's incomprehensible to Tommy! (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rot

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

'tommy' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'it's incomprehensible to' is the wordplay.
'it' becomes 'r' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'incomprehensible' indicates an anagram (an incomprehensible jumbling of the letters).
'to' with letters rearranged gives 'ot'.
'r'+'ot'='ROT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rot that I've seen before include "Paradise" , "Gradual decline" , "Decay in grotesque way" , "Deterioration" , "Decay or disintegrate" .)
