Encouraged to have wickedly divine time (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

invited

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

'wickedly divine time' is the wordplay.
'wickedly' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'time' becomes 't'.
'divine'+'t'='divinet'
'divinet' is an anagram of 'INVITED'.

'to have' is the link.

(Other definitions for invited that I've seen before include "Asked to visit" , "Welcomed" , "Requested the presence of" , "Made a guest" , "Encouraged" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
