Carried hot grub out (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brought

'carried' is the definition.
(bringing is a kind of carrying)

'hot grub out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'hot'+'grub'='hotgrub'
'hotgrub' with letters rearranged gives 'BROUGHT'.

(Other definitions for brought that I've seen before include "Took with oneself" , "Contributed" , "Delivered or carried" , "Carried (to a place)" , "Took along with you" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
