A rude omen will alter one's bearing (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

demeanour

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

'bearing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a rude omen will alter one's' is the wordplay.
'a rude omen' can be anagrammed to 'DEMEANOUR'.
However, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for demeanour that I've seen before include "Behaviour" , "Enamoured of the way a person behaves" , "Appearance and attitude" , "Manner of behaving towards others" , "Look" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
