Possibly credit with being straight (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

direct

'being straight' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'possibly credit' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'credit' is an anagram of 'DIRECT'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for direct that I've seen before include "Following the quickest and shortest path" , "Straightforward; control" , "Show where to go - straight" , "Immediate - aim" , "Supervise; unambiguous" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
