Dating app perhaps pairing Lucifer with God? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

matchmaker

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

'dating app perhaps pairing' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'lucifer with god?' is the wordplay.
'lucifer' becomes 'match' (synonyms).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'god?' becomes 'maker' (as in meeting one's maker).
'match'+'maker'='MATCHMAKER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for matchmaker that I've seen before include "Cupid" , "One brings together" , "Union organiser" , "One who arranges marriages for others" , "worker responsible for strikers leaving the factory?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
