Crossword Genius

Read about getting around some shops (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arcade

'some shops' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'read about getting around' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'getting' is an insertion indicator.
'around' becomes 'ca' (circa).
'read' anagrammed gives 'arde'.
'arde' placed around 'ca' is 'ARCADE'.

(Other definitions for arcade that I've seen before include "Shopping mall" , "Covered (shopping) walk" , "covered avenue of shops" , "Covered passageway with shops and stalls" , "Covered walk with shops" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
