Pride etc terribly battered (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

decrepit

'battered' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'pride etc terribly' is the wordplay.
'terribly' indicates an anagram.
'pride'+'etc'='prideetc'
'prideetc' is an anagram of 'DECREPIT'.

(Other definitions for decrepit that I've seen before include "Getting on" , "Run-down by old age or hard use" , "Depicter in state of dilapidation" , "Dilapidated, made weak by age" , "Feeble - dilapidated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
