Question of treating ore in a new way (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

interrogate

'question' is the definition.
(I know that question can be written as interrogate)

'treating ore in a new way' is the wordplay.
'in a new way' indicates an anagram.
'treating'+'ore'='treatingore'
'treatingore' with letters rearranged gives 'INTERROGATE'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for interrogate that I've seen before include "Formally question" , "Cross-examine" , "Question closely" , "Ask questions of (someone)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
