Wind coming through grass reversed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

returned

'reversed' is the definition.
(returning is a kind of reversing)

'wind coming through grass' is the wordplay.
'wind' becomes 'turn'.
'coming through' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'grass' becomes 'reed' (type of grass plant).
'turn' going inside 'reed' is 'RETURNED'.

(Other definitions for returned that I've seen before include "Went, came or brought back" , "Went, came or gave back" , "Came back - voted in" , "dishonoured by the bank" , "Sent back" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
