Crossword Genius

Ran back to argue, being biased (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

narrow

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

'ran back to argue' is the wordplay.
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'to argue' becomes 'row' (to row with someone is to argue with them).
'ran' back-to-front is 'nar'.
'nar'+'row'='NARROW'

(Other definitions for narrow that I've seen before include "Constricted in width" , "Pinched" , "Sort of boat, escape, gauge or squeak" , "Conservative" , "Strict" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
