School with old-fashioned exterior is blown up (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

detonated

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

'is blown up' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'school with old-fashioned exterior' is the wordplay.
'school with' becomes 'eton' (famous UK public school. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'old fashioned' becomes 'dated' (I've seen this before).
'exterior' is an insertion indicator.
'eton' put inside 'dated' is 'DETONATED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for detonated that I've seen before include "let off" , "Blown up" , "Set off" .)
