Escorted old woman inside (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ushered

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

'old woman inside' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'used' (similar in meaning).
'woman' becomes 'her' (pronoun for a woman).
'inside' indicates putting letters inside.
'used' placed around 'her' is 'USHERED'.

(Other definitions for ushered that I've seen before include "Showed people to seats as in cinemas or theatre" , "Conducted" , "Led" , "Escorted" , "Showed to a seat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
