One always on the make? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

creator

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

'make?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'one always on the' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'a' and 'a' is present in the answer.
'on' could be 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to') and 're' is found within the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'cor' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for creator that I've seen before include "Someone who makes something" , "Maker" , "Originator - God" , "Inventor" , "The Almighty" .)
