Direction in which one gets over, crossing the road (5)
I believe the answer is:
order
'direction in which one' is the definition.
'order' can be an answer for 'direction' (order is a kind of direction). I am not certain of the rest of the definition.
'over crossing the road' is the wordplay.
'over' becomes 'oer' (synonyms).
'crossing' indicates putting letters inside.
'the road' becomes 'rd' (abbreviation).
'oer' enclosing 'rd' is 'ORDER'.
'gets' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for order that I've seen before include "It could be the usual" , "Annual film award (5)" , "Apply for - class" , "Call" , "Uniformity or fraternity" .)
