Craftsman worried, having to work with others (2-7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

co-operate

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

'to work with others' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'craftsman worried' is the wordplay.
'craftsman' becomes 'cooper' (cooper is a kind of craftsman).
'worried' becomes 'ate' (something worrying may eat someone up).
'cooper'+'ate'='CO-OPERATE'

'having' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for co-operate that I've seen is " Work together".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
