Spread meant as a greeting (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

namaste

'a greeting' is the definition.
(I know that Namaste is a salutation)

'spread meant as' is the wordplay.
'spread' is an anagram indicator.
'meant'+'as'='meantas'
'meantas' with letters rearranged gives 'NAMASTE'.

(Other definitions for namaste that I've seen before include "salutation" , "sign of respect" , "greeting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
