Worship what is destroyed by iconoclasts? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idolise

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

'worship' is the definition.
(I know that worship can be written as idolise)

'is destroyed by iconoclasts?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'is' is within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'what' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for idolise that I've seen before include "Revere (someone) greatly or excessively" , "Worship to extremes" , "Pay excessive attention to" , "Worship (S, not Z)" , "Hero-worship, revere" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
