Got in the ride shaking (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inherited

'got' is the definition.
(inheriting is a kind of getting)

'in the ride shaking' is the wordplay.
'shaking' indicates anagramming the letters.
'the'+'ride'='theride'
'theride' with letters rearranged gives 'herited'.
'in'+'herited'='INHERITED'

(Other definitions for inherited that I've seen before include "handed down" , "Received from an ancestor" , "Came into" , "Was left" , "Received from forebears" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
