Resent a move in one direction (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eastern

'in one direction' is the definition.
(from the east)

'resent a move' is the wordplay.
'move' indicates an anagram.
'resent'+'a'='resenta'
'resenta' with letters rearranged gives 'EASTERN'.

(Other definitions for eastern that I've seen before include "Chinese', for example" , "towards the sun" , "from afar" , "See 11" , "Facing away from the west" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
