Mean gamers out of bounds? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intend

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'mean' is the definition.
(to intend to something is to mean it)

'gamers out of bounds?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'bounds?' could be 'end' (end is a kind of bounds) and 'end' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'int' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for intend that I've seen before include "Purport" , "Have as one's plan" , "Have as purpose or plan" , "Plan, propose" , "Mean; propose" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
