Crossword Genius

Entertain army (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

host

I believe this is a double definition.

'entertain' is the first definition.
(I know this)

'army' is the second definition.
(I know that host is a type of army)

(Other definitions for host that I've seen before include "Present" , "Provide entertainment" , "put on" , "Multitude -- MC" , "One entertains guests" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
