Crossword Genius

Begin destroying main tent for fun (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entertainment

'fun' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'begin destroying main tent' is the wordplay.
'begin' becomes 'enter'.
'destroying' is an anagram indicator.
'main'+'tent'='maintent'
'maintent' is an anagram of 'tainment'.
'enter'+'tainment'='ENTERTAINMENT'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for entertainment that I've seen before include "show business" , "sport" , "Provision of hospitality" , "fun" , "Public show; hospitality" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
