Introduce gradually in new list (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

instil

'introduce gradually' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in new list' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'list' is an anagram of 'stil'.
'in'+'stil'='INSTIL'

(Other definitions for instil that I've seen before include "Drill" , "It's nil (anag.)" , "Gradually establish (in someone's mind)" , "Put in drop by drop" , "Put gradually into mind" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
