Entice from vast empty spaces (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tempt

'entice' is the definition.
(I know that entice can be written as tempt)

'from vast empty spaces' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'TEMPT' can be found hidden inside 'vast empty spaces'.

(Other definitions for tempt that I've seen before include "Entice (to sin)" , "Entice; risk provoking (fate)" , "Whet the appetite" , "Try to persuade to do wrong" , "Entice - give rise to desire" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
