Fame comes through getting tree up like this (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repute

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fame' is the definition.
(repute can mean fame or reputation)

'through getting tree up like this' is the wordplay.
'tree up' anagrams to 'REPUTE'.
But, I'm not clear how this is indicated.

'comes' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for repute that I've seen before include "High estimation; fame" , "credit" , "General view or opinion of an individual, may be ill" , "Known character, standing" , "Generally held opinion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
