Wander about to obtain device (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gadget

'device' is the definition.
(gadget is a kind of device)

'wander about to obtain' is the wordplay.
'wander about' becomes 'gad' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to obtain' becomes 'get' (synonyms).
'gad'+'get'='GADGET'

(Other definitions for gadget that I've seen before include "appliance" , "Thing made or used for particular purpose" , "Ingenious little device" , "Clever device" , "Small mechanical device or tool" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sun.
