Obtain tinsel for decoration (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enlist

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

'obtain' is the definition.
(I know that enlist is a kind of procure)

'tinsel for decoration' is the wordplay.
'tinsel' anagrams to 'ENLIST'.
However, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enlist that I've seen before include "Draft" , "Enrol - recruit" , "Take the Queen's shilling" , "augment army" , "Join the armed forces" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
