Condition rather posh boards dislike (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

habituate

'condition' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'rather posh boards dislike' is the wordplay.
'rather' becomes 'abit' (I've seen this before).
'posh' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for upper-class - opposite to non-u).
'boards' indicates putting letters inside.
'dislike' becomes 'hate' (hating is a kind of disliking).
'abit'+'u'='abitu'
'abitu' inserted within 'hate' is 'HABITUATE'.

(Another definition for habituate that I've seen is " Get used to".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
