Belief held in parts of the internet (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tenet

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

'belief' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'parts of the internet' is the wordplay.
'parts' becomes 'ten' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'of' is an anagram indicator (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
'internet' becomes 'e' (I've seen this in other clues).
't'+'e'='te'
'te' with letters rearranged gives 'et'.
'ten'+'et'='TENET'

'held in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tenet that I've seen before include "Teaching" , "Matter of belief" , "Doctrine; principle held" , "Belief held as true" , "A palindromic doctrine or belief" .)
