The opposite of wronged? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

righted

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

'opposite of wronged?' is the definition.
('right' is the opposite to 'wrong')

'the' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'the' is 'hte' which is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for righted that I've seen is " Made reparation".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
