May child run, a tea being cooked? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taurean

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

'may child' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'run a tea being cooked?' is the wordplay.
'being cooked?' indicates an anagram (letters cooked into a new form).
'run'+'a'+'tea'='runatea'
'runatea' with letters rearranged gives 'TAUREAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for taurean that I've seen before include "One born under the sign of the bull" , "bovine" , "May Day baby, say?" , "person who might be considered bullish?" , "One born in April/May" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
