Be subjected to German and, consequently, Latin (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

undergo

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

'be subjected to' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'german and consequently latin' is the wordplay.
'german and' becomes 'und' ('and' in German).
'consequently latin' becomes 'ergo' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'und'+'ergo'='UNDERGO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for undergo that I've seen before include "Withstand" , "Suffer, endure" , "Stand" , "Suffer reverse" , "Endure - urged on (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
