Stayed with us erratically, coming once a week (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tuesdays

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

'once a week' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'stayed with us erratically' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'erratically' indicates an anagram.
'stayed' put after 'us' is 'usstayed'.
'usstayed' is an anagram of 'TUESDAYS'.

'coming' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tuesdays that I've seen before include "Nautical jacket" , "24-hour periods?" , "''... child is full of grace'' (7'1)" , "Weekdays steady us" .)
