Great purse, destroyed (5)
I believe the answer is:
super
'great' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'purse destroyed' is the wordplay.
'destroyed' is an anagram indicator.
'purse' is an anagram of 'SUPER'.
(Other definitions for super that I've seen before include "(Of product) of extra fine quality" , "Incomparable" , "Prefix meaning over or extremely" , "Smashing, terrific" , "Prefix meaning above or informally great" .)
