Turned to trade, perhaps (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rotated

'turned' is the definition.
(rotating is a kind of turning)

'to trade perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to'+'trade'='totrade'
'totrade' is an anagram of 'ROTATED'.

(Other definitions for rotated that I've seen before include "Turned around axis or central point" , "took part in revolution" , "Had spin" , "Turned in a circle around an axis" , "Turned round" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
