Varied as I'd reversed desire (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disagreed

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

'as i'd reversed desire' is the wordplay.
'reversed' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'desire' becomes 'greed' (greed is a kind of desire).
'as'+'id'='asid'
'asid' written backwards gives 'disa'.
'disa'+'greed'='DISAGREED'

(Other definitions for disagreed that I've seen before include "Differed" , "Quarrelled" , "Had words" , "Varied" , "Was not as one" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
