Sure Ray changed the dividing line (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

boundary

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

'dividing line' is the definition.
'boundary' can be an answer for 'line' (boundary is a kind of line). I am unsure of the 'dividing' bit.

'sure ray changed' is the wordplay.
'sure' becomes 'bound' (synonyms).
'changed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ray' is an anagram of 'ary'.
'bound'+'ary'='BOUNDARY'

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for boundary that I've seen before include "Line marking the outer limits" , "Limit (of an area)" , "Perimeter: demarcation" , "line between states" , "Four, perhaps" .)
