Rendered invalid, I'd suffered with Nile flu (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nullified

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

'rendered invalid' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'i'd suffered with nile flu' is the wordplay.
'suffered with' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'suffers' mean this).
'nile'+'flu'='nileflu'
'id' mixed up with 'nileflu' makes 'NULLIFIED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nullified that I've seen before include "revoked" , "Abrogated" , "Made invalid" , "Scrubbed" , "Cancelled out" .)
