Off course (6)

I think it could be either:

adrift

astray

'off course' is the definition.
(to be led astray is to be led off course)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for astray that I've seen before include "Wandering off the track" , "Wandering off the path" , "Gone off the right path" , "on the wrong road" , "in the wrong place" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today, The Times, the Newsday, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, The Mirror, The New York Times, The Star Tribune, the Penny Press, The Telegraph and the Evening Standard.
