Apostrophe is dividing corporation (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tuism

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

'apostrophe' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'is dividing corporation' is the wordplay.
'dividing' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters divide the word).
'corporation' becomes 'tum' ('corporation' is a humorous term for stomach fat).
'is' placed into 'tum' is 'TUISM'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for tuism that I've seen is " regarding a second person".)
