Find fee appropriate to Turkish official (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

effendi

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

'to turkish official' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'find fee' is the wordplay.
'find fee' can be anagrammed to 'EFFENDI'.
However, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'appropriate' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for effendi that I've seen before include "Important fellow" , "Respected Arab" , "Turkish address now comparable to 'Mr'" , "Turkish man respectfully" , "Turkish official" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
