What's the relevance of carriage? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bearing

I believe this is a double definition.

'what's the relevance' is the first definition.
(bearing is a kind of relevance)

'carriage?' is the second definition.
('bearing' can be a synonym of 'carriage')

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bearing that I've seen before include "Attitude - pivot - reference" , "Manner - pivot - reference" , "Deportment" , "Compass point" , "supplied by Air Traffic Control" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
