Ten dined out as planned (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intended

'planned' is the definition.
(intending is a kind of planning)

'ten dined out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'ten'+'dined'='tendined'
'tendined' is an anagram of 'INTENDED'.

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for intended that I've seen before include "no mistake!" , "Fiance (e) - on purpose" , "Informally one's fiance or fiancee" , "One about to join union" , "Meant - fiancee" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
