'Enterprise' warped circling Sun leaving dot (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intersperse

'dot' is the definition.
('intersperse' can be a synonym of 'dot')

'enterprise warped circling sun' is the wordplay.
'warped' indicates an anagram.
'circling' means one lot of letters goes inside another (circling can mean going around or containing).
'sun' becomes 's'.
'enterprise' anagrammed gives 'interperse'.
'interperse' going around 's' is 'INTERSPERSE'.

'leaving' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for intersperse that I've seen before include "Scatter - enterprises (anag)" , "Dot" , "Spread throughout" , "Scatter between other things" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
