Object to pedicure with wild elation (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toenail

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

'object to pedicure' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'wild elation' is the wordplay.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'elation' with letters rearranged gives 'TOENAIL'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toenail that I've seen before include "Footplate, perhaps" , "such as met with in chiropody" , "part of leg" , "Hard plate on part of foot" , "Digital protection!" .)

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