Carried in the direction of Edward (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toted

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

'in the direction of edward' is the wordplay.
'in the direction of' becomes 'to'.
'edward' becomes 'ted' ().
'to'+'ted'='TOTED'

(Other definitions for toted that I've seen before include "Bore" , "Carried (something heavy)" , "Lugged" , "Carried (a gun?)" , "Carried - conveyed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
