Crossword Genius

Plunder piled so high (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

despoil

'plunder' is the definition.
('despoil' can be a synonym of 'plunder')

'piled so high' is the wordplay.
'high' is an anagram indicator (can mean drunk or on drugs and hence disordered).
'piled'+'so'='piledso'
'piledso' with letters rearranged gives 'DESPOIL'.

(Other definitions for despoil that I've seen before include "Plunder (a place)" , "Plunder, devastate" , "Ravage" , "Plunder completely" , "sack" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
