steer

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

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

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for steer that I've seen before include "Navigate" , "Young bull" , "bovine creature" , "farm animal" , "Control movement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
