Got used to being ruined, sadly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inured

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

'got used to' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'ruined sadly' is the wordplay.
'sadly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ruined' with letters rearranged gives 'INURED'.

'being' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inured that I've seen before include "used to it" , "Hardened as by experience" , "Accustomed to something difficult" , "Hardened or calloused, being ruined" , "Hardened against, emotion say" .)
