T S Eliot ignoring content editor's rising hate (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

detest

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

'hate' is the definition.
(to detest is to hate or loathe)

't s eliot ignoring content editor's rising' is the wordplay.
'eliot' becomes 'ts' (poet TS Eliot).
'ignoring' is a deletion indicator.
'content' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'editor's' becomes 'seed' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'rising' is a reversal indicator (letters written upwards in a down clue).
'ts' with 's' taken out is 't'.
't' going within 'seed' is 'seted'.
't'+'seted'='tseted'
'tseted' written backwards gives 'DETEST'.

Can you help me to learn more?
