Wilder sibling's creation? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

genesis

'creation?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'wilder sibling's' is the wordplay.
'wilder' becomes 'gene' (gene wilder).
'sibling' becomes 'sis' (I have seen 'Little sibling ' mean 'sis' so perhaps 'sibling' could also mean 'sis').
'gene'+'sis'='GENESIS'

(Other definitions for genesis that I've seen before include "Origin; Bible book" , "Beginning (in the Bible)" , "Origin or formation of something" , "First book of the Bible" , "Beginning the holy book" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
