Torn about accepting a crew's decoration (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ornament

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

'torn about accepting a crew's' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'accepting' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'crew' becomes 'men' (I've seen this before**).
'torn' with letters rearranged gives 'ornt'.
'a'+'men'='amen'
'ornt' going around 'amen' is 'ORNAMENT'.

(Other definitions for ornament that I've seen before include "trill?" , "Trinket - decoration" , "to dress up" , "A mark of honour" , "accessory" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
