Having found, carted off (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

traced

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'having found' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'carted off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates an anagram.
'carted' anagrammed gives 'TRACED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for traced that I've seen before include "Copied by following the lines of a drawing" , "Found - copied" , "Outlined or tracked back" , "Sketched the outline of" , "Discovered by following pieces of evidence" .)
