Admits Munster regulars will allude to neglected state (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disuse

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

'allude to neglected state' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'admits munster regulars' is the wordplay.
'regulars' indicates alternate letters (letters selected at regular intervals).
'admits'+'munster'='admitsmunster'
The alternating letters of 'admitsmunster' are 'DISUSE'.

'will' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for disuse that I've seen before include "Issued (anag)" , "Fall into this state to be unemplyed? (6)." , "Neglect; desuetude" , "Neglect; abandonment" , "State of not being employed" .)
