Deer is to live here (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reside

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

'live here' is the definition.
'reside' can be an answer for 'live' (synonyms). I'm unsure of the 'here' bit.

'deer is' is the wordplay.
'deer is' can be anagrammed to 'RESIDE'.
However, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reside that I've seen before include "Dwell in desire" , "Dwell, be present (in)" , "Live in permanently" , "Make one's home permanently" , "Occupy a place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
