What could give sect, say, great delight? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ecstasy

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

'great delight?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'what could give sect say' is the wordplay.
'sect say' can be anagrammed to 'ECSTASY'.
But, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ecstasy that I've seen before include "Feeling of great rapture" , "Jubilation" , "Street name for the MDMA drug" , "Modern drug associated with dance raves" , "Intense happiness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sun.
