Altered course in spring (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

source

'spring' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'altered course' is the wordplay.
'altered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'course' anagrammed gives 'SOURCE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for source that I've seen before include "Origin; spring" , "Place or person where something begins" , "Beginning to add" , "Origin; head of stream" , "Origin, starting-point" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
