Wicked one veiled or camouflaged (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evildoer

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

'wicked one' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'veiled or camouflaged' is the wordplay.
'camouflaged' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'veiled'+'or'='veiledor'
'veiledor' anagrammed gives 'EVILDOER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for evildoer that I've seen before include "Malefactor" , "Over idle (anag) - villain" , "miscreant" , "sinner" , "Wicked person" .)
