Thread your way through where everybody’s crossing (5)

I believe the answer is:

reeve

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

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

'through where everybody's crossing' is the wordplay.
'through' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'REEVE' is hidden within 'where everybodys crossing'.

'your way' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reeve that I've seen before include "US actor" , "Bird - female of the ruff" , "Old magistrate or official" , "Bailiff, steward" , "Historical magistrate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
