Temptation to get European tin - strange building material (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enticement

'temptation' is the definition.
(I know that temptation can be written as enticement)

'european tin strange building material' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'strange' indicates an anagram.
'building material' becomes 'cement' (cement is a kind of building material).
'tin' with letters rearranged gives 'nti'.
'e'+'nti'+'cement'='ENTICEMENT'

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for enticement that I've seen before include "A lure" , "Something which tempts" , "Attraction" , "Carrot" , "Allure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
