Little Bear to roam ruins, somehow (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ursa minor

'little bear' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'roam ruins somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'roam'+'ruins'='roamruins'
'roamruins' with letters rearranged gives 'URSA MINOR'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ursa minor that I've seen before include "Group appearing nightly" , "Group of stars" , "Paddington, say" , "Paddington, for example" , "Star group" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
