Deft, I drew out tangle (5-4)

I believe the answer is:

drift-weed

'tangle' is the definition.
(tangle can mean seaweed)

'deft i drew out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'deft'+'i'+'drew'='deftidrew'
'deftidrew' anagrammed gives 'DRIFT-WEED'.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
