deceiver

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

'dishonest person' is the definition.
'deceiver' can be an answer for 'person' (deceiver is a kind of person). I am not certain of the 'dishonest' bit.

'creed ive worked out' is the wordplay.
'worked out' is an anagram indicator.
'creed'+'ive'='creedive'
'creedive' anagrammed gives 'DECEIVER'.

'for a' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for deceiver that I've seen before include "Person who leads you to believe something that's untrue" , "Deceitful" , "Chiseller" .)
