Joined in duet (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

united

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

'joined' is the definition.
('unite' can be a synonym of 'join')

'in duet' is the wordplay.
'in duet' anagrams to 'UNITED'.
Though, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for united that I've seen before include "See 9" , "Joined into a single entity" , "See 18" , "Leeds, Sheffield or Manchester, perhaps" , "Untied, being allied" .)

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