Steered Escort on back road? (6)
I believe the answer is:
guided
'steered' is the definition.
('guide' can be a synonym of 'steer')
'escort on back road?' is the wordplay.
'escort' becomes 'guide' (guide is a kind of escort).
'on back road?' becomes 'd' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'guide'+'d'='GUIDED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for guided that I've seen before include "Directed as missile might be" , "Showed the way, lead" , "Directed the course of, 24 dn say" , "Showed the way, led" , "Directed or steered" .)
