Walk wearily out of boisterous parties (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

traipse

'walk wearily' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'boisterous parties' is the wordplay.
'boisterous' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'parties' with letters rearranged gives 'TRAIPSE'.

'out of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for traipse that I've seen before include "travel wearily" , "Tedious walk" , "Trudge or tramp in parties" , "make slow progress" , "Walk heavily" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
