Star ready for evening (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sunset

'evening' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'star ready' is the wordplay.
'star' becomes 'sun' (the Sun is a star).
'ready' becomes 'set' (set can mean ready or prepared).
'sun'+'set'='SUNSET'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for sunset that I've seen before include "Evening glow" , "Dusk" , "This in west" , "Twilight time" , "The fading light of evening" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
