No longer interested in death and sin (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

offend

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

'sin' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'no longer interested in death' is the wordplay.
'no longer interested in' becomes 'off' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'death' becomes 'end' ('end' can be a synonym of 'death').
'off'+'end'='OFFEND'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for offend that I've seen before include "Cause to feel hurt" , "Do wrong or cause resentment" , "tread on someone's toes?" , "Upset; transgress" , "Cause affront or do wrong" .)
