Brought out from the East: one in ten catching it (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elicited

'brought out' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'from the east one in ten catching it' is the wordplay.
'from the east' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'one in ten' becomes 'decile' (a population can be divided into ten deciles).
'catching' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'decile' backwards is 'eliced'.
'eliced' going around 'it' is 'ELICITED'.

(Other definitions for elicited that I've seen before include "Drew out, evoked" , "Drew meaning or response from" , "Provoked" , "drawn out" , "brought out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
