Analyse underworld worshippers (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dissect

'analyse' is the definition.
(I know that analyse can be written as dissect)

'underworld worshippers' is the wordplay.
'underworld' becomes 'dis' (underworld in classical mythology).
'worshippers' becomes 'sect' (religious group).
'dis'+'sect'='DISSECT'

(Other definitions for dissect that I've seen before include "Anatomize" , "Analyse (something) in minute detail" , "Anatomise" , "Critically examine" , "Cut open or cut apart" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
