Immediate credit, perhaps (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

direct

'immediate' is the definition.
('direct' can be similar in meaning to 'immediate')

'credit perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'credit' with letters rearranged gives 'DIRECT'.

(Other definitions for direct that I've seen before include "Creepy-crawly" , "Frank; supervise" , "Frank; unambiguous" , "Immediate; organise (e.g. play)" , "Regulate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
