Unsettled patron's right move (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

transport

'move' is the definition.
(transporting is a kind of moving)

'unsettled patron's right' is the wordplay.
'unsettled' is an anagram indicator.
'right' becomes 'rt' (abbreviation as in Rt Hon- the Right Honourable).
'patrons' is an anagram of 'transpo'.
'transpo'+'rt'='TRANSPORT'

(Other definitions for transport that I've seen before include "Entrance" , "Send (convict) to a penal colony" , "Convey; enrapture" , "bus maybe?" , "Carry from one place to another" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
