Drawing on veracities in a new way (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evisceration

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

'drawing' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'on veracities in a new way' is the wordplay.
'in a new way' is an anagram indicator.
'on'+'veracities'='onveracities'
'onveracities' is an anagram of 'EVISCERATION'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for evisceration that I've seen is " Disembowelling".)
