Puts up with secret arrangement (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erects

'puts up' is the definition.
('erect' can be a synonym of 'put up')

'secret arrangement' is the wordplay.
'arrangement' indicates an anagram.
'secret' with letters rearranged gives 'ERECTS'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for erects that I've seen before include "Puts up, stand or building" , "Builds, constructs" , "Put up, builds" , "Constructs, puts up" , "Secret (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
