A truce for the priest's assistant (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

curate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the priest's assistant' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a truce' is the wordplay.
'a truce' can be anagrammed to 'CURATE'.
Though, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for curate that I've seen before include "assistant barman in Ireland" , "one wearing dog-collar" , "Assistant to a parish priest" , "A truce (anag)" , "Minister of religion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
