Goes back to cause a priest disturbed rest? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reverts

'goes back to' is the definition.
('revert' can be a synonym of 'go back to')

'priest disturbed rest?' is the wordplay.
'priest' becomes 'rev' (short for reverend).
'disturbed' indicates anagramming the letters (the order of letters is disturbed).
'rest' anagrammed gives 'erts'.
'rev'+'erts'='REVERTS'

'cause a' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
