Injure a woman when grabbing silver (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

damage

'injure' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a woman when grabbing silver' is the wordplay.
'a woman' becomes 'dame' (dame is a kind of woman).
'when grabbing' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are grabbed).
'silver' becomes 'Ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'dame' placed around 'ag' is 'DAMAGE'.

(Other definitions for damage that I've seen before include "Ravages" , "vandalism?" , "Harm, impair" , "Deface, harm" , "Harm; reparation" .)
