'Power of Love' with nice rendition (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

violence

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

'love with nice rendition' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'rendition' indicates an anagram.
'love' after 'nice' is 'nicelove'.
'nicelove' with letters rearranged gives 'VIOLENCE'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for violence that I've seen before include "Btutality" , "Force, power" , "Passion" , "Act of aggression, physical force" , "Ferocity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
