The star turns getting break (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shatter

'break' is the definition.
(to break can mean to shatter)

'the star turns' is the wordplay.
'turns' indicates anagramming the letters.
'the'+'star'='thestar'
'thestar' with letters rearranged gives 'SHATTER'.

'getting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for shatter that I've seen before include "greatly upset" , "Smash to pieces" , "Support for broken arm" , "Go to pieces" , "Break suddenly" .)
