Is done as an inventor (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edison

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

'inventor' is the definition.
(I know that Edison is a inventor)

'is done' is the wordplay.
'is done' anagrams to 'EDISON'.
But, I am not clear how this is indicated.

'as an' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for edison that I've seen before include "No side to this american inventor" , "US inventor of phonograph, electric light etc." , "Science master" , "Inventor's" , "US inventor of over 1,000 devices" .)
