Consecrate Rodin works around area (6)
I believe the answer is:
ordain
'consecrate' is the definition.
('ordain' can be a synonym of 'consecrate')
'rodin works around area' is the wordplay.
'works' is an anagram indicator.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'area' becomes 'a' (maths abbreviation).
'rodin' with letters rearranged gives 'ordin'.
'ordin' going around 'a' is 'ORDAIN'.
(Other definitions for ordain that I've seen before include "Invest with ministerial authority" , "Consecrate as priest" , "Decree authoritatively" , "Decree and admit to holy orders" , "Either prescribe" .)
