Crossword Genius

Fiend arranged no terms (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

monster

'fiend' is the definition.
(I know that fiend can be written as monster)

'arranged no terms' is the wordplay.
'arranged' is an anagram indicator (letters rearranged).
'no'+'terms'='noterms'
'noterms' with letters rearranged gives 'MONSTER'.

(Other definitions for monster that I've seen before include "Huge - beast" , "Large and grotesque animal" , "On terms (anag) - cruel person" , "Inhuman person" , "Large, ugly and frightening imaginary creature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
