A share certificate, not one arranged for credit (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ascription

'credit' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a share certificate not one arranged' is the wordplay.
'share certificate' becomes 'scrip' (I've seen this before).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'arranged' indicates anagramming the letters (letters rearranged).
'not'+'i'='noti'
'noti' with letters rearranged gives 'tion'.
'a'+'scrip'+'tion'='ASCRIPTION'

'for' acts as a link.

(Another definition for ascription that I've seen is " Assignment".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
