Titian's greed stupidly causing break up (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disintegrate

'break up' is the definition.

'titian's greed stupidly' is the wordplay.
'stupidly' is an anagram indicator.
'titians'+'greed'='titiansgreed'
'titiansgreed' anagrammed gives 'DISINTEGRATE'.

'causing' is the link.

(Other definitions for disintegrate that I've seen before include "decay" , "Break into little pieces" , "Smash" , "Go to pieces" , "collapse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
