Saint resolved to end war? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

andrew

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

'saint' is the definition.
(St Andrew is an example)

'resolved to end war?' is the wordplay.
'resolved' becomes 'drew' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'end' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (I've seen 'ends' mean this).
'war?' becomes 'action' (action can mean action in war).
'action' with its centre taken out is 'an'.
'drew' after 'an' is 'ANDREW'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for andrew that I've seen before include "- - Marr (TV)" , "apostle" , "- Motion, Poet Laureate" , "holy man" , "Father of Beatrice and Eugenie" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
