Crashed fighter being transported (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

freight

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

'being transported' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'crashed fighter' is the wordplay.
'crashed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'fighter' with letters rearranged gives 'FREIGHT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for freight that I've seen before include "Cargo, goods transported" , "Something carried" , "Commercial transport" , "Consignment" , "that's carried by rail and road" .)
