Trudge wearily from drunken parties (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

traipse

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

'trudge wearily' is the definition.
'traipse' can be an answer for 'trudge' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not sure about the 'wearily' bit.

'drunken parties' is the wordplay.
'drunken' is an anagram indicator.
'parties' with letters rearranged gives 'TRAIPSE'.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for traipse that I've seen before include "Trudge or tramp in parties" , "Pirates (anag) -- walk without 9" , "Plod - trek" , "Trudge around" , "make slow progress" .)
