Titles to a dagger (8)

I believe the answer is:

stiletto

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dagger' is the definition.
(I know that stiletto is a type of dagger)

'titles to a' is the wordplay.
'titles to' can be anagrammed to 'STILETTO'.
However, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stiletto that I've seen before include "Dagger with slender blade" , "One may have a stab" , "Slender-bladed dagger - heel" , "part of boot?" , "High-heeled shoe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
