Draw ten perhaps of diamonds (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entice

'draw' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ten perhaps of diamonds' is the wordplay.
'perhaps of' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'perhaps' mean this).
'diamonds' becomes 'ice' (slang term for diamonds).
'ten' is an anagram of 'ent'.
'ent'+'ice'='ENTICE'

(Other definitions for entice that I've seen before include "Attract with offers" , "Tempt with promises of reward" , "Allure" , "Persuade with nice offer" , "'Tempt, lure (6)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
