Pirate's funny walk (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

traipse

'walk' is the definition.
(traipsing is a kind of walking)

'pirate's funny' is the wordplay.
'funny' is an anagram indicator.
'pirates' anagrammed gives 'TRAIPSE'.

(Other definitions for traipse that I've seen before include "travel wearily" , "long tiring walk" , "Walk heavily" , "make slow progress" , "Trudge or tramp in parties" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
