Get Sid to make a summary (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

digest

'a summary' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'get sid to make' is the wordplay.
'to make' indicates anagramming the letters.
'get'+'sid'='getsid'
'getsid' with letters rearranged gives 'DIGEST'.

(Other definitions for digest that I've seen before include "Periodical summarizing the news" , "Synopsis" , "Gradually come to understand" , "abstract" , "Break down in the stomach" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
