I am to master Gaelic in plunge (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

immerse

'plunge' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'i am to master gaelic' is the wordplay.
'i am' becomes 'i'm'.
'to master' becomes 'm'.
'gaelic' becomes 'Erse' (synonyms).
'im'+'m'+'erse'='IMMERSE'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for immerse that I've seen before include "Drown" , "Baptise" , "Submerge in water or liquid" , "Submerge in water as once for baptism" , "Dip totally into liquid" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
