Dante title rewritten by amateur (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dilettante

'amateur' is the definition.
(I know that dilettante is a type of amateur)

'dante title rewritten' is the wordplay.
'rewritten' indicates anagramming the letters.
'dante'+'title'='dantetitle'
'dantetitle' is an anagram of 'DILETTANTE'.

'by' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dilettante that I've seen before include "Superficial dabbler in the arts - title at end (anag)" , "Amateurish" , "Superficial art-lover" , "Arty type" , "Aesthete" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
