Carries off totally, as they say nowadays (5)
I believe the answer is:
totes
'carries' is the definition.
(toting is a kind of carrying)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for totes that I've seen before include "Bears" , "Carries, lugs" , "Carries, drags" , "Carries the betting system" , "Carries or shoulders" .)
