Remake has rotten direction (5-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

north-east

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'direction' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'remake has rotten' is the wordplay.
'remake' indicates an anagram (the letters made in a different way).
'has'+'rotten'='hasrotten'
'hasrotten' anagrammed gives 'NORTH-EAST'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for north-east that I've seen is " Top right region on a map".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
