Crossword Genius

Woman organised ideal hit, and it's destroyed (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

annihilated

'it's destroyed' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'woman organised ideal hit' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'ann' (woman's name).
'organised' is an anagram indicator.
'ideal'+'hit'='idealhit'
'idealhit' anagrammed gives 'ihilated'.
'ann'+'ihilated'='ANNIHILATED'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for annihilated that I've seen before include "Destroyed completely" , "Utterly destroyed" , "Wiped out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
