One plans development of the Arctic (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

architect

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

'one plans development' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'of the arctic' is the wordplay.
'of' is an anagram indicator (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'the'+'arctic'='thearctic'
'thearctic' with letters rearranged gives 'ARCHITECT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for architect that I've seen before include "Designer of buildings" , "professional" , "Perhaps Scott" , "Building designer" , "Author" .)
