Disobey or can't even change (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

contravene

'disobey' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'or can't even change' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates an anagram.
'or'+'cant'+'even'='orcanteven'
'orcanteven' with letters rearranged gives 'CONTRAVENE'.

(Other definitions for contravene that I've seen before include "Go against (a rule)" , "Conflict with" , "Break" , "Offend against (law)" , "Go against (rules)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
