Tempt a display by apprentices (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entice

'tempt' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'a display by apprentices' is the wordplay.
'a display by' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen 'displayed by' mean this).
'ENTICE' is hidden in the letters of 'apprentices'.

(Other definitions for entice that I've seen before include "Attract with offers" , "Attract (by pleasure)" , "Allure" , "draw" , "Trap" .)

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