Dill and okra concoction for motorist's victims (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roadkill

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'motorist's victims' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'dill and okra concoction' is the wordplay.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'concoction' indicates anagramming the letters.
'dill' put after 'okra' is 'okradill'.
'okradill' with letters rearranged gives 'ROADKILL'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for roadkill that I've seen before include "Creatures squashed on the motorway?" , "A passing motoring phenomenon" , "Animals slain by vehicles" , "Animal slain by cars" .)
