One against religious image (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

icon

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

'religious image' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'one against' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'ic' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'against' becomes 'on' (I've seen this in other clues).
'ic'+'on'='ICON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for icon that I've seen before include "Someone uncritically admired" , "Painting or person regarded as sacred" , "Image or statue, or symbol on computer screen" , "Russian religious image" , "Very important person" .)
