Section load destroyed fuse (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

consolidate

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

'section load destroyed' is the wordplay.
'destroyed' is an anagram indicator.
'section'+'load'='sectionload'
'sectionload' anagrammed gives 'CONSOLIDATE'.

(Other definitions for consolidate that I've seen before include "Combine into a connected whole" , "Make stronger; combine into one" , "Join together - strengthen" , "Cement" , "Unify" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
