Trace out container (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crate

'container' is the definition.
(crate is a type of container)

'trace out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'trace' with letters rearranged gives 'CRATE'.

(Other definitions for crate that I've seen before include "Wooden box" , "Packing container" , "heap" , "old banger" , "Wooden container" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
