Various roads set out (8)
I believe the answer is:
assorted
'various' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'roads set out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'roads'+'set'='roadsset'
'roadsset' is an anagram of 'ASSORTED'.
(Other definitions for assorted that I've seen before include "Of various types put together" , "Mixed" , "Manifold" , "Odd-shaped" , "Stared so at a varied mixture as of sweets" .)
