Something that could be scrambled for one outing ultimately (3)

I believe the answer is:

egg

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

'something that could be scrambled' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'for one outing ultimately' is the wordplay.
'for one' becomes 'eg' (both can mean 'for example').
'ultimately' says to take the final letters.
The final letter of 'outing' is 'g'.
'eg'+'g'='EGG'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for egg that I've seen before include "On the face, its an embarrassment" , "Poached or boiled?" , "Incite; ovum" , "Quiche ingredient" , "Bird's first home" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
