Demand from cineaste: set to be rebuilt (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

necessitate

'demand' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'cineaste set to be rebuilt' is the wordplay.
'to be rebuilt' is an anagram indicator.
'cineaste'+'set'='cineasteset'
'cineasteset' anagrammed gives 'NECESSITATE'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for necessitate that I've seen before include "Render unavoidable" , "required" , "Entail" , "Demand" , "Require, oblige" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
