Right conclusion produces split (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rend

'split' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'right conclusion' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'conclusion' becomes 'end' (end is a kind of conclusion).
'r'+'end'='REND'

'produces' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rend that I've seen before include "Tear violently" , "Tear to pieces" , "Cleave" , "Rip" , "Tear, sunder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
