Gratify by eluding reform

Ross

I believe the answer is:

indulge

'gratify' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'eluding reform' is the wordplay.
'reform' indicates an anagram (letters in a new form).
'eluding' with letters rearranged gives 'INDULGE'.

'by' is the link.

(Other definitions for indulge that I've seen before include "Enjoy to excess" , "pet" , "Satisfy (an interest)" , "Gratify a wish" , "Drink too much" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
