Walk straight out of some lodgings (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trudge

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

'walk' is the definition.
(trudging is a kind of walking)

'straight out of some lodgings' is the wordplay.
'straight' becomes 'true' (synonyms).
'out of' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'some lodgings' becomes 'dg' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'true' going around 'dg' is 'TRUDGE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trudge that I've seen before include "Footslog" , "Walk wearily" , "Plod wearily" , "Walk with slow, heavy steps" , "Walk heavily or laboriously" .)
