Side with me mistakenly in the end (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

demise

'the end' is the definition.
(demise is a kind of end)

'side with me mistakenly' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'mistakenly' is an anagram indicator.
'side'+'me'='sideme'
'sideme' is an anagram of 'DEMISE'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for demise that I've seen before include "The end of something" , "Death, collapse" , "Death or expiration" , "Passing" , "(Person's) death" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
