Amateurs tint a tiled construction (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dilettanti

'amateurs' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tint a tiled construction' is the wordplay.
'construction' indicates anagramming the letters (answer constructed from certain letters).
'tint'+'a'+'tiled'='tintatiled'
'tintatiled' anagrammed gives 'DILETTANTI'.

(Other definitions for dilettanti that I've seen before include "Superficial dabblers" , "those who dabble" , "amateurs" , "art lovers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
