Crossword Genius

Some amusement about production (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recreation

'some amusement' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'about production' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'production' becomes 'creation' (I've seen this before).
're'+'creation'='RECREATION'

(Other definitions for recreation that I've seen before include "Sort of ground" , "Play" , "pleasurable leisure activity" , "fun" , "free time" .)

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