Diction's modified by subtle difference in end (14)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

discontinuance

'end' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'diction's modified by subtle difference' is the wordplay.
'modified' indicates an anagram.
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'subtle difference' becomes 'nuance' (I've seen this before).
'dictions' is an anagram of 'disconti'.
'disconti'+'nuance'='DISCONTINUANCE'

'in' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
