Crossword Genius

Work attitude to resist (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oppose

'resist' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'work attitude' is the wordplay.
'work' becomes 'op' (abbreviation for opus).
'attitude' becomes 'pose' (I've seen this before).
'op'+'pose'='OPPOSE'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for oppose that I've seen before include "Obstruct, resist" , "Actively resist" , "'Refute, stand against (6)'" , "match" , "Resist, go against" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
