Censure part to convert to plain text (7)

I believe the answer is:

decrypt

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

'convert to plain text' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'censure part' is the wordplay.
'censure' becomes 'decry' (I've seen this in another clue).
'part' becomes 'pt' (abbreviation).
'decry'+'pt'='DECRYPT'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for decrypt that I've seen before include "Make message understood" , "Decode" , "Make sense of" , "Crack" , "Break code" .)

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