Crossword Genius

Get involved with an intermediary (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agent

'intermediary' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'get involved with an' is the wordplay.
'involved with' indicates anagramming the letters (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'get' with its letters mixed up with 'an' can make 'AGENT'.

(Other definitions for agent that I've seen before include "Middleman" , "Salesman" , "Actors' manager" , "One does business on behalf of another" , "Factor, spy" .)

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