overspecialised

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

'excessively focussed on one area rewriting adverse policies' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'rewriting adverse policies' is the wordplay.
'rewriting' indicates anagramming the letters.
'adverse'+'policies'='adversepolicies'
'adversepolicies' is an anagram of 'OVERSPECIALISED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for overspecialised that I've seen is " No jack-of-all-trades".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
