He made a deal with the devil (5)

I believe the answer is:

faust

(Other definitions for faust that I've seen before include "He sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for knowledge" , "Goethe's two-part tragedy" , "Alchemist" , "1 28 [EPIC POEM]" , "Cautionary tale" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
