Pride, etc., generated over The Hill? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

decrepit

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

'over the hill?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'pride etc generated' is the wordplay.
'generated' indicates an anagram.
'pride'+'etc'='prideetc'
'prideetc' anagrammed gives 'DECREPIT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for decrepit that I've seen before include "Run-down by old age or hard use" , "Impaired by age" , "Enfeebled by age, infirmity" , "Elderly, infirm" , "Worn-out" .)
