Lie next to Clio for one puzzle (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bemuse

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

'one puzzle' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'lie next to clio' is the wordplay.
'lie next' becomes 'be' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to clio' becomes 'muse' (Clio was the Greek muse of history).
'be'+'muse'='BEMUSE'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bemuse that I've seen before include "Nonplus" , "Floor" , "Puzzle, make confused" , "Confuse, bewilder" , "Stupefy, puzzle" .)
