Wicked Zulu warriors going over house contents? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impious

'wicked' is the definition.
('impious' is associated in meaning with 'wicked')

'zulu warriors going over house contents?' is the wordplay.
'zulu warriors' becomes 'impi' (I've seen this before).
'going over' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'contents?' means to look at the middle letters (I've seen 'content' mean this).
The middle letters of 'house' are 'ous'.
'impi'+'ous'='IMPIOUS'

(Other definitions for impious that I've seen before include "Irreverent; wicked" , "9 [DEMON]" , "Lacking veneration or respect" , "Showing disrespect for a god" , "Lacking reverence for God" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
