Crossword Genius

Carriage to the entrance, say (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gait

'carriage' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'the entrance say' is the wordplay.
'the entrance' becomes 'gate' (type of entrance).
'say' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'gate' is a homophone of 'GAIT'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gait that I've seen before include "Manner of walking or running" , "walkway?" , "Walk" , "Way of walking sounds like way of entry" , "Way of walking (4)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
