Scattered right around in all directions (6)
I believe the answer is:
strewn
'scattered' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'right around in all directions' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'rt'.
'around' is a reversal indicator.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'all directions' becomes 'sewn' (compass directions**).
'rt' backwards is 'tr'.
'tr' put within 'sewn' is 'STREWN'.
(Other definitions for strewn that I've seen before include "Cast about" , "Scattered about like leaves or litter" , "Native of Brittany" , "Spread untidily" , "Scattered about like autumn leaves" .)
