Entertain a goddess (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amuse

'entertain' is the definition.
(amuse can mean to entertain or divert)

'a goddess' is the wordplay.
'goddess' becomes 'muse' (the muses in Greek myth).
'a'+'muse'='AMUSE'

(Other definitions for amuse that I've seen before include "Keep occupied" , "Tickle" , "Make (someone) laugh" , "interest" , "Delight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail, The Times, The Guardian and The Telegraph.
