Experience release, securing some work (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

undergo

'experience' is the definition.
('undergo' can be a synonym of 'experience')

'release securing some work' is the wordplay.
'release' becomes 'undo' (I've seen this before**).
'securing' is an insertion indicator.
'some work' becomes 'erg' (an erg is a unit of work done).
'undo' going around 'erg' is 'UNDERGO'.

(Other definitions for undergo that I've seen before include "Withstand" , "Endure, experience something" , "Experience or live through" , "Suffer, experience" , "Suffer reverse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
