Crossword Genius

Bellow for example in a way that brings violence? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assault

'violence?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'bellow for example in a way' is the wordplay.
'bellow for example' becomes 'Saul' (novelist Saul Bellow).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'way' becomes 'st' (abbreviation for street).
'a'+'st'='ast'
'saul' placed into 'ast' is 'ASSAULT'.

'that brings' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for assault that I've seen before include "Launch an attack on" , "The fool starts the attack" , "Mount an attack" , "set about" , "Attack suddenly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
