One raced around shopping area (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arcade

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

'one raced around' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'around' indicates an anagram.
'raced' anagrammed gives 'rcade'.
'a'+'rcade'='ARCADE'

(Other definitions for arcade that I've seen before include "Covered passageway with shops and stalls" , "Covered (shopping) walk" , "games area?" , "Covered walk with shops" , "Gallery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
