Meta dissection of side (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

team

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

'side' is the definition.
(a side is a sporting team)

'meta dissection' is the wordplay.
'meta' anagrams to 'TEAM'.
But, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for team that I've seen before include "One side in a game" , "Two or more working together" , "See 22" , "A set of players forming one side" , "Mate for a group of players" .)
