Invited Vic round to be spiteful (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vindictive

'be spiteful' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'invited vic round' is the wordplay.
'round' indicates anagramming the letters.
'invited'+'vic'='invitedvic'
'invitedvic' anagrammed gives 'VINDICTIVE'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for vindictive that I've seen before include "Revengeful" , "full of spite" , "out for revenge" , "Spiteful" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
