Crossword Genius

I get loan arranged for embassy (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

legation

'embassy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'i get loan arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates anagramming the letters.
'i'+'get'+'loan'='igetloan'
'igetloan' is an anagram of 'LEGATION'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for legation that I've seen before include "A long tie (anag.)" , "Diplomatic group or mission" , "Official residence of diplomat and staff" , "Embassy" , "Diplomatic minister and staff, and their residence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
