Stars exactly evenly in agreement? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

treaty

'agreement?' is the definition.
(treaty is a kind of agreement)

'stars exactly evenly' is the wordplay.
'evenly' means one should take alternating letters (even-numbered letters only).
'stars'+'exactly'='starsexactly'
The alternate letters of 'starsexactly' are 'TREATY'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for treaty that I've seen before include "A pact between countries" , "Ratified agreement between states" , "Pact or agreement between nations" , "International agreement" , "Political or private agreement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
