Mould is never upside down (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inverse

'upside down' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'mould is never' is the wordplay.
'mould' is an anagram indicator.
'is'+'never'='isnever'
'isnever' with letters rearranged gives 'INVERSE'.

(Other definitions for inverse that I've seen before include "A direct opposite" , "Reversed in order or relation" , "Something the exact opposite of another" , "The exact opposite of enviers" , "Reversed in position like enviers" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
