Bumped into brick carrier, making way (6)
I believe the answer is:
method
'way' is the definition.
(method is a kind of way)
'bumped into brick carrier' is the wordplay.
'bumped into' becomes 'met' (I've seen this before).
'brick carrier' becomes 'hod' (I've seen this before).
'met'+'hod'='METHOD'
'making' is the link.
(Other definitions for method that I've seen before include "particular procedure" , "'Means, way of achieving (6)'" , "System, perhaps even in madness" , "Kind of technique, may be present in madness" , "Modus operandi" .)
