Pet term concocted for Devil (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tempter

'devil' is the definition.
(I know that devil can be written as Tempter)

'pet term concocted' is the wordplay.
'concocted' is an anagram indicator.
'pet'+'term'='petterm'
'petterm' is an anagram of 'TEMPTER'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tempter that I've seen before include "The Devil?" , "One offering enticements" , "Satan" , "One offering enticement" , "Siren" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
