Mad Ron turned out to be aimless (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

random

'be aimless' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'mad ron turned out' is the wordplay.
'turned out' is an anagram indicator (turn out can mean to organise).
'mad'+'ron'='madron'
'madron' is an anagram of 'RANDOM'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for random that I've seen before include "Wild" , "Unsystematic" , "Chance, unplanned" , "Without order" , "Without a particular aim, haphazard as choice may be" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
