Crossword Genius

Adult service in store (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amass

'store' is the definition.
(amassing is a kind of storing)

'adult service' is the wordplay.
'adult' becomes 'a' (abbreviation).
'service' becomes 'mass' (kind of church service).
'a'+'mass'='AMASS'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for amass that I've seen before include "Collect or gather" , "Sodium chloride" , "Be a compiler" , "Gathers" , "store" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
