Edit traced out (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

redact

'edit' is the definition.
(I know that edit can be written as redact)

'traced out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'traced' is an anagram of 'REDACT'.

(Other definitions for redact that I've seen before include "Edit for publication" , "put into literary form" , "Prepare for publication" , "Censor part of a text for security reasons" , "Edit and censor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
