Draws wet wind from the east (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

westward

'east' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'draws wet wind' is the wordplay.
'wind' indicates anagramming the letters.
'draws'+'wet'='drawswet'
'drawswet' anagrammed gives 'WESTWARD'.

'from the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for westward that I've seen before include "Away from the east" , "In the direction of the setting sun" , "Direction for young man to go?" , "Towards the setting sun" , ". . . . . . . . Ho (film) (8)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
