Expert takes different road to it (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adroit

'expert' is the definition.
(adroit can mean expert or masterful)

'different road to it' is the wordplay.
'different' indicates anagramming the letters.
'road' anagrammed gives 'adro'.
'adro'+'it'='ADROIT'

'takes' is the link.

(Other definitions for adroit that I've seen before include "Skilful, dexterous" , "Deft and skilful" , "Dexterous, artful" , "Apt" , "skill" .)

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