Do they use staves for matchwood? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vestas

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

'matchwood?' is the definition.

'do they use staves' is the wordplay.
'staves' can be anagrammed to 'VESTAS'.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for vestas that I've seen is " Matches - staves (anag)".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
