Train Bill to become scintillating (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brilliant

'scintillating' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'train bill to become' is the wordplay.
'to become' indicates an anagram.
'train'+'bill'='trainbill'
'trainbill' is an anagram of 'BRILLIANT'.

(Other definitions for brilliant that I've seen before include "Lustrous" , "Very bright or vivid" , "Shining intensly" , "Very bright or exceptionally talented" , "Bright and sparkling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
