Crossword Genius

Cite chart that's excited designer (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

architect

'designer' is the definition.
(I know that designer can be written as architect)

'cite chart that's excited' is the wordplay.
'that's excited' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cite'+'chart'='citechart'
'citechart' with letters rearranged gives 'ARCHITECT'.

(Other definitions for architect that I've seen before include "professional" , "Author" , "Building designer" , "Designer of buildings" , "Perhaps Scott" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
