Hater destroyed planet (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earth

'planet' is the definition.
(Earth is an example)

'hater destroyed' is the wordplay.
'destroyed' is an anagram indicator.
'hater' anagrammed gives 'EARTH'.

(Other definitions for earth that I've seen before include "hideaway" , "brownish pigment?" , "Soil; electrical connection" , "Third planet from the Sun" , "cost of which is very high" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
