Entertain model after do (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

contemplate

'entertain' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'model after do' is the wordplay.
'model' becomes 'template' (template is a kind of model**).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'do' becomes 'con'.
'template' put after 'con' is 'CONTEMPLATE'.

(Other definitions for contemplate that I've seen before include "Intend" , "Ruminate on" , "Ponder" , "Consider" , "Think seriously" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
