Make a detailed study of any sale, somehow (7)

I believe the answer is:

analyse

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

'make a detailed study of any sale somehow' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'any sale somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'any'+'sale'='anysale'
'anysale' is an anagram of 'ANALYSE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for analyse that I've seen before include "Dissect" , "Sort out syntax" , "Evaluate" , "Carefully examine" , "Examine the parts in detail" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
