See clan destroyed in purge (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cleanse

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

'see clan destroyed' is the wordplay.
'destroyed' indicates an anagram.
'see'+'clan'='seeclan'
'seeclan' is an anagram of 'CLEANSE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cleanse that I've seen before include "clear of muck" , "subject to purification" , "Make spotless" , "carry out purification" , "give absolution" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
