Used a paddle (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oared

'used a paddle' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for oared that I've seen before include "As some boats flew" , "Like a rowing eight" , "ready for a row" , "Adore (anag.)" , "Prepared for a row" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and The Chronicle of Higher Education.
