Rough Trade assessed (5)
I believe the answer is:
rated
'assessed' is the definition.
(rating is a kind of assessing)
'rough trade' is the wordplay.
'rough' indicates an anagram (a rough or broken ordering of the letters).
'trade' anagrammed gives 'RATED'.
(Other definitions for rated that I've seen before include "Scolded, estimated" , "Taxed" , "Scolded (archaic); assessed" , "Admired" , "Scolded - valued" .)
