Exact retribution for destruction of Geneva (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

avenge

'exact retribution' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'destruction of geneva' is the wordplay.
'destruction of' indicates anagramming the letters.
'geneva' anagrammed gives 'AVENGE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for avenge that I've seen before include "Get satisfaction for wrong done" , "Get even" , "Inflict harm in return (for wrong)" , "Inflict retribution" , "Retaliate on behalf of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
