Exist to turn to create immorality (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evil

'immorality' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'exist to turn' is the wordplay.
'exist' becomes 'live' (synonyms).
'to turn' is a reversal indicator.
'live' back-to-front is 'EVIL'.

'to create' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for evil that I've seen before include "Maleficent" , "Extremely unpleasant" , "Morally corrupt" , "Wicked or immoral" , "Morally bad" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
