Discuss roads home (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roots

This might be a double definition.

'discuss roads' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'home' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for roots that I've seen before include "Genealogy" , "Origins, of plants or people" , "eg Parsnips" , "Underground parts of a plant" , "Nerve endings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
