Draws dissected Eastern insect (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entices

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

'draws' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'dissected eastern insect' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'eastern' could be 'e' and 'e' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'insect' is 'ntices' which is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entices that I've seen before include "'Lures, tempts (7)'" , "Persuades with pleasant offer" , "Lures or beguiles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
