Dress carried back home, eventually (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enrobe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dress' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'carried back home eventually' is the wordplay.
'carried' becomes 'borne' (I've seen this before).
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'home eventually' becomes 'e' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'borne' back-to-front is 'enrob'.
'enrob'+'e'='ENROBE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enrobe that I've seen before include "Don a vestment" , "Clad ceremonially" , "Dress, put on vestments" , "Fancy" , "Dress, clothe, invest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
