Cancel order for cinders (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rescind

'cancel' is the definition.
(rescinding is a kind of cancelling)

'order for cinders' is the wordplay.
'order for' is an anagram indicator.
'cinders' anagrammed gives 'RESCIND'.

(Other definitions for rescind that I've seen before include "Annul - discern (anag)" , "Revoke (order)" , "undo" , "Quash" , "Scrub" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
