Look for weapon after getting started (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glance

'look' is the definition.
(glance is a kind of look)

'weapon after getting started' is the wordplay.
'weapon' becomes 'lance' (lance is a kind of weapon).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'started' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'getting' is 'g'.
'lance' put after 'g' is 'GLANCE'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for glance that I've seen before include "batsman's shot" , "fly off" , "Take a quick look" , "Swift look" , "Batsman's stroke" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
