Eve strode out with dock worker (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stevedore

'dock worker' is the definition.
('stevedore' can be a synonym of 'dock worker')

'eve strode out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'eve'+'strode'='evestrode'
'evestrode' is an anagram of 'STEVEDORE'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stevedore that I've seen before include "Dock-worker loads and unloads ships" , "Hold worker" , "Docker" , "dock pay for him?" , "Worker who loads and unloads ships" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
