Good man reshaping tree on the way (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

street

'the way' is the definition.
(street is a kind of way)

'good man reshaping tree on' is the wordplay.
'good man' becomes 'st' (abbreviation for saint).
'reshaping' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tree' is an anagram of 'reet'.
'st'+'reet'='STREET'

(Other definitions for street that I've seen before include "Somerset town; urban way" , "Road lined with houses" , "A thoroughfare or public road" , "City thoroughfare" , "Way; setter (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
