Taken right back, does get the leaflets (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tracts

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

'the leaflets' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'taken right back does' is the wordplay.
'taken right' becomes 'rt' (abbreviation as in Rt Hon- the Right Honourable. I am not sure about the 'taken' bit.).
'back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'does' becomes 'acts' (I've seen this before).
'rt' back-to-front is 'tr'.
'tr'+'acts'='TRACTS'

'get' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tracts that I've seen before include "Big areas of land or small pamphlets" , "Plots" , "Large areas of land or small pamphlets" , "Large stretches of land or religious pamphlets" , "Extended areas of land" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
