Crossword Genius

Eater's vice possibly producing gut (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eviscerate

'gut' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'eater's vice possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'eaters'+'vice'='eatersvice'
'eatersvice' anagrammed gives 'EVISCERATE'.

'producing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for eviscerate that I've seen before include "Remove essential parts" , "Draw" , "Disembowel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
