One way to be led (6)

I believe the answer is:

astray

'one way to be led' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for astray that I've seen before include "in the wrong place" , "Adrift - misguided - lost" , "Go . . . . . . - get lost" , "Wandering lost" , "Like carrier" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
