Official recollected deceit with card (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accredited

'official' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'recollected deceit with card' is the wordplay.
'recollected' indicates anagramming the letters (letters recollected and rearranged).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'deceit' put after 'card' is 'carddeceit'.
'carddeceit' is an anagram of 'ACCREDITED'.

(Other definitions for accredited that I've seen before include "Broadcast" , "Given official recognition" , "Given official authorisation" , "Certified officially" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
