Transporting clan and its tartan across the pond (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

transatlantic

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

'transporting clan and its tartan' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'across the pond' is the wordplay.
'across' becomes 'trans' (prefix meaning across or over).
'the pond' becomes 'atlantic'.
'trans'+'atlantic'='TRANSATLANTIC'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for transatlantic that I've seen before include "Westward from the UK" , "Across the pond" , "on other side" , "Crossing 'the Pond'" , "From Europe to America" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
