One seeking revolution rejected wrong in courts (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trot

'one seeking revolution' is the definition.
(short for Trotskyite)

'rejected wrong in courts' is the wordplay.
'rejected' is a reversal indicator.
'wrong in courts' becomes 'tort' (legal term).
'tort' written backwards gives 'TROT'.

(Other definitions for trot that I've seen before include "moderate movement" , "movement of H [TROT]" , "(Horse's) moderate pace" , "Horse's steady pace" , "Clip (horse)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
