Looked the wrong way, revoking green light? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ogled

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

'looked' is the definition.
(ogling is a kind of looking)

'wrong way revoking green light?' is the wordplay.
'wrong way' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'revoking' becomes 'del' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'green light?' becomes 'go' (I've seen this in other clues).
'del'+'go'='delgo'
'delgo' back-to-front is 'OGLED'.

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
