Turned awkwardly around one inexperienced (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

untried

'inexperienced' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'turned awkwardly around one' is the wordplay.
'awkwardly' is an anagram indicator.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'turned' is an anagram of 'untred'.
'untred' placed around 'i' is 'UNTRIED'.

(Other definitions for untried that I've seen before include "not yet proved reliable" , "Experimental" , "escape court appearance thus" , "Intrude (anag.)" , "inexperienced" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
