Mean to wreck veg area (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

average

'mean' is the definition.
(I know that mean can be written as average)

'wreck veg area' is the wordplay.
'wreck' indicates an anagram.
'veg'+'area'='vegarea'
'vegarea' anagrammed gives 'AVERAGE'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for average that I've seen before include "Mean - norm" , "Moderate" , "building society customer loses capital over time" , "Usual - mediocre - mean" , "Mean - everyday" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
