Crossword Genius

Famous aristocrat entertains part-time soldiers (7)

I believe the answer is:

notable

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

'famous' is the definition.
(I know that famous can be written as notable)

'aristocrat entertains part-time soldiers' is the wordplay.
'aristocrat' becomes 'Noble' (member of the nobility).
'entertains' indicates putting letters inside.
'part-time soldiers' becomes 'ta' (abbreviation for Territorial Army. I am not sure about the 'part-time' bit.).
'noble' placed around 'ta' is 'NOTABLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for notable that I've seen before include "Celebrated" , "VIP" , "Worthy of record" , "Star" , "Outstanding" .)
