Puzzling polemic put together (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

compile

'put together' is the definition.
('compile' can be a synonym of 'put together')

'puzzling polemic' is the wordplay.
'puzzling' indicates anagramming the letters.
'polemic' anagrammed gives 'COMPILE'.

(Other definitions for compile that I've seen before include "Marshal" , "Polemic (anag.)" , "Assemble (a collection)" , "Put together" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
