Duke appearing after attendant is called for (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paged

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

'duke appearing after attendant' is the wordplay.
'duke' becomes 'd' (abbreviation).
'appearing after' says to put letters next to each other.
'attendant' becomes 'page' (page is a kind of attendant).
'd' after 'page' is 'PAGED'.

(Other definitions for paged that I've seen before include "Called over a public address system" , "Summoned over a PA system" , "Called to phone" , "called by Speaker" , "Called a name over a PA system" .)
