Wise errand to get prophet (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seer

'prophet' is the definition.
(both can mean someone who tells the future)

'wise errand to get' is the wordplay.
'to get' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'got' mean this).
'SEER' is hidden within 'wise errand'.

(Other definitions for seer that I've seen before include "Sage with 20ac" , "Sibyl" , "wise fellow" , "Oracle or clairvoyant" , "One divines the future" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
