Pursuing wrongly and grabbing another’s job (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

usurping

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

'grabbing another's job' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'pursuing wrongly' is the wordplay.
'wrongly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pursuing' anagrammed gives 'USURPING'.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for usurping that I've seen before include "Taking power without authority" , "Taking another's position wrongfully" , "Assuming power without authority" , "Seizing control illegally" , "Seizing control without authority" .)
