Dicky or Ben is to be carried (5)
I believe the answer is:
borne
'to be carried' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'dicky or ben' is the wordplay.
'dicky' is an anagram indicator (dicky can mean ill or non-functioning).
'or'+'ben'='orben'
'orben' anagrammed gives 'BORNE'.
'is' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for borne that I've seen before include "Carried or endured" , "Carried, conveyed" , "Produced" .)
