United from inside target nicely turned (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

integrated

'united' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)

'from inside target nicely turned' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'turned' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'detargetni' is hidden in the letters of 'inside target nicely'.
'detargetni' written backwards gives 'INTEGRATED'.

(Other definitions for integrated that I've seen before include "Unified" , "Combined into a whole" , "Formed into a whole" , "working as a unit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
