Drew and traced tat out (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

attracted

'drew' is the definition.
(attracting is a kind of drawing)

'traced tat out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'traced'+'tat'='tracedtat'
'tracedtat' with letters rearranged gives 'ATTRACTED'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for attracted that I've seen before include "Drew to, magnetised" , "Drew towards" , "Pulled" , "Drew to, magnatized" , "Acted like a magnet (90" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
