Closed door opening in another Eden (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ended

'closed' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'door opening in another eden' is the wordplay.
'opening' indicates taking the first letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'another' is an anagram indicator.
The first letter of 'door' is 'd'.
'eden' anagrammed gives 'ened'.
'd' inserted into 'ened' is 'ENDED'.

(Other definitions for ended that I've seen before include "wound up" , "Finished, terminated" , "Culminated" , "Stopped" , "Having come to a conclusion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
