Provide different crate (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cater

'provide' is the definition.
(I know that provide can be written as cater)

'different crate' is the wordplay.
'different' indicates anagramming the letters.
'crate' anagrammed gives 'CATER'.

(Other definitions for cater that I've seen before include "Provide food etc" , "Provide services, food or entertainment" , "Supply food for social event" , "Make provision for" , "Provide for function" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
