Crossword Genius

Commercial with evil warning (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

advice

'warning' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'commercial with evil' is the wordplay.
'commercial' becomes 'ad'.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'evil' becomes 'vice' (vice is a kind of evil).
'ad'+'vice'='ADVICE'

(Other definitions for advice that I've seen before include "Opinion given about what to do" , "Supposedly wise words" , "Recommendation for a course of action" , "Suggestion (invited or otherwise)" , "Supposed words of wisdom" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
