Word from Paris now devised for a style of music (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

motown

'for a style of music' is the definition.
(music genre)

'word from paris now devised' is the wordplay.
'word from paris' becomes 'mot' ('word' in French).
'devised' indicates an anagram.
'now' is an anagram of 'own'.
'mot'+'own'='MOTOWN'

(Other definitions for motown that I've seen before include "music from America" , "Tamla -, US soul music record label" , "Detroit musical style" , "Tom won (anag) - music" , "Detroit's musical export" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
