Authorise to open a blender and look inside (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enable

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

'authorise' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'open a blender and look inside' is the wordplay.
'ENABLE' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am uncertain how this is indicated.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enable that I've seen before include "Allow" , "Authorise" , "Provide with means or opportunity" , "Make possible, give the means to do something" , "Give power or capacity to" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
