Become religious after knocking over veggie (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

turnip

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

'veggie' is the definition.
(I know that turnip is a type of veggie)

'become religious after knocking over' is the wordplay.
'become' becomes 'turn' (synonyms).
'religious after knocking over' becomes 'ip' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'turn'+'ip'='TURNIP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for turnip that I've seen before include "Large-rooted vegetable related to the cabbage" , "food item" , "'Root vegetable, yellow or white (6)'" , "Root vegetable of the mustard family" , "Globular food plant" .)
