Vagrants given transport to outskirts of Paris (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tramps

'vagrants' is the definition.
(I know this)

'given transport to outskirts of paris' is the wordplay.
'given' says to put letters next to each other.
'transport' becomes 'tram' (method of transport).
'to outskirts of paris' becomes 'PS' (first and last letters of 'Paris').
'tram' put next to 'ps' is 'TRAMPS'.

(Other definitions for tramps that I've seen before include "Walks heavily with vagrants" , "Become hard or solid" , "Stumps" , "Walks with heavy footfall" , "Vagrants or hoboes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
