Pressure to get new trade separated (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parted

'separated' is the definition.
('part' can be a synonym of 'separate')

'pressure to get new trade' is the wordplay.
'pressure' becomes 'p' (abbreviation).
'to get new' indicates an anagram (get a new order of the letters).
'trade' anagrammed gives 'arted'.
'p'+'arted'='PARTED'

(Other definitions for parted that I've seen before include "Divided, broken" , "left" , "Divided and said goodbye" , "Split up, separated" , "Divided or went separate ways" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
