Destroy a volume in fury (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ravage

'destroy' is the definition.
(ravaging is a kind of destroying)

'a volume in fury' is the wordplay.
'volume' becomes 'v'.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'fury' becomes 'rage' ('rage' can be a synonym of 'fury').
'a'+'v'='av'
'av' placed into 'rage' is 'RAVAGE'.

(Other definitions for ravage that I've seen before include "Devastate, damage extensively" , "Act like a 6" , "Greatly damage, destroy" , "Cause extensive destruction" , "Wreak havoc upon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
