Crossword Genius

Treat is arranged for entertainer (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

artiste

'for entertainer' is the definition.
(artiste is a kind of entertainer)

'treat is arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates an anagram.
'treat'+'is'='treatis'
'treatis' is an anagram of 'ARTISTE'.

(Other definitions for artiste that I've seen before include "Tears it (anag.)" , "Theatre performer" , "One entertaining" , "'Public performer, dancer or singer (7)'" , "A sitter for a performer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
