It tempts one to break a rule (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lure

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

'it tempts one' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'break a rule' is the wordplay.
'break' is an anagram indicator.
'rule' with letters rearranged gives 'LURE'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lure that I've seen before include "Attraction" , "'Decoy, bait (4)'" , "It's used to attract fish" , "Entice, bait" , "Enticement" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
