The one from Broadstairs? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

road

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

'the one' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'from broadstairs?' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ROAD' can be found hidden inside 'broadstairs'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for road that I've seen before include "Street" , "Way from A to B" , "Highway or byway" , "Mine passage; way" , "Way travelled by boat" .)
