Stress rang changes to sin (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

transgress

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

'stress rang changes' is the wordplay.
'changes' indicates an anagram.
'stress'+'rang'='stressrang'
'stressrang' is an anagram of 'TRANSGRESS'.

(Other definitions for transgress that I've seen before include "Overstep, exceed" , "commit offence" , "Go beyond (legal) limits" , "Break (limit, law)" , "Cause offence" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
