Drove in another direction (4)

I believe the answer is:

herd

'drove' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in another direction' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'HERD' can be found hidden inside 'another direction'.

(Other definitions for herd that I've seen before include "Host" , "Crowd of cattle" , "Group of animals, cattle, say" , "Flock" , "Large group of animals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
