Changing seat - hazard for star (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asterisk

'star' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'changing seat hazard' is the wordplay.
'changing' is an anagram indicator.
'hazard' becomes 'risk' (synonyms).
'seat' with letters rearranged gives 'aste'.
'aste'+'risk'='ASTERISK'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for asterisk that I've seen before include "Star of typography" , "Footnote marker" , "Sarkiest (Anag)" , "Star for the printer" , "Star-shaped mark in printing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
