Be carried back in the same direction (4)
I believe the answer is:
ride
'be carried' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'back in the same direction' is the wordplay.
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'edir' can be found hidden inside 'same direction'.
'edir' backwards is 'RIDE'.
(Other definitions for ride that I've seen before include "Travel in or be carried on" , "Travel upon" , "Travel, on horseback, say" , "Be transported" , "badger" .)
