Alter (with an intention to deceive) (6)

I believe the answer is:

doctor

(Other definitions for doctor that I've seen before include "Medical practitioner, for instance" , "Eg, surgeon" , "Medic or holder of highest university degree" , "Physician" , "One seeing cases" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
