Friendship dear America ruined (11)

I believe the answer is:

camaraderie

'friendship' is the definition.
(camaraderie is friendship or companionship)

'dear america ruined' is the wordplay.
'ruined' indicates anagramming the letters.
'dear'+'america'='dearamerica'
'dearamerica' anagrammed gives 'CAMARADERIE'.

(Other definitions for camaraderie that I've seen before include "Esprit de corps" , "Comradeship" , "Mutual trust and friendship" , "Main theme of Friends" , "Friendly sociability" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
