Tiara got damaged by incendiary (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agitator

'incendiary' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'tiara got damaged' is the wordplay.
'damaged' is an anagram indicator.
'tiara'+'got'='tiaragot'
'tiaragot' is an anagram of 'AGITATOR'.

'by' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for agitator that I've seen before include "One causing trouble" , "Person who stirs up trouble" , "One fomenting trouble" , "washing machine" , "Demagogue" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
