Motored from Kiev or Dusseldorf, heading north (5)
I believe the answer is:
drove
'motored' is the definition.
(motor can mean to drive in a car)
'from kiev or dusseldorf heading north' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'heading north' says the letters should be written backwards.
'evord' is hidden in the letters of 'kiev or dusseldorf'.
'evord' written backwards gives 'DROVE'.
(Other definitions for drove that I've seen before include "Incited" , "Flock of animals being driven" , "acted like Mr Toad" , "Herd of cattle" , "Carried along by force" .)
