Walk carelessly from blame (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amble

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

'walk carelessly' is the definition.
'amble' can be an answer for 'walk' (ambling is a kind of walking). I am not certain of the 'carelessly' bit.

'from blame' is the wordplay.
'from' is an anagram indicator (from the letters).
'blame' anagrammed gives 'AMBLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amble that I've seen before include "Wander gently along" , "Meander" , "Wander casually" , "Swan" , "Blame (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
