Perhaps Rod & Electra matched (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

correlated

'matched' is the definition.
(correlating is a kind of matching)

'perhaps rod electra' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates anagramming the letters.
'rod'+'electra'='rodelectra'
'rodelectra' anagrammed gives 'CORRELATED'.

(Another definition for correlated that I've seen is " Dearer colt (anag.)".)

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