Assist in destabilising stable condition? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stasis

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

'stable condition?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both states of affairs as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'assist in destabilising' is the wordplay.
'assist' can be anagrammed to 'STASIS'.
But, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stasis that I've seen before include "Assist (anag.)" , "Enduring state" , "Inactive state" , "State in which blood-flow is stopped" , "Stoppage of blood flow in body" .)
