Woody is on glue, smashed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ligneous

'woody' is the definition.
('ligneous' can be similar in meaning to 'woody')

'is on glue smashed' is the wordplay.
'smashed' is an anagram indicator.
'is'+'on'+'glue'='isonglue'
'isonglue' anagrammed gives 'LIGNEOUS'.

(Other definitions for ligneous that I've seen before include "Made of wood" , "Wooden" , "Of the nature of wood" , "Woody" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
