Bad trade died when hurried (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

darted

'hurried' is the definition.
(darting is a kind of hurrying)

'bad trade died' is the wordplay.
'bad' is an anagram indicator.
'died' becomes 'd'.
'trade' anagrammed gives 'darte'.
'darte'+'d'='DARTED'

'when' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for darted that I've seen before include "Moved suddenly like game missile" , "Dashed, on the electric train?" , "Sniped" , "Moved quickly and suddenly" , "Moved rapidly and lightly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
