Puzzle? Happen to get inspiration (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bemuse

'puzzle?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'happen to get inspiration' is the wordplay.
'happen' becomes 'be'.
'to get' says to put letters next to each other.
'inspiration' becomes 'muse'.
'be'+'muse'='BEMUSE'

(Other definitions for bemuse that I've seen before include "Cause puzzlement" , "Confuse, bewilder" , "Fox" , "Muddle or stupefy" , "Nonplus" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
