Sad or corrupt ways (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roads

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

'sad or corrupt' is the wordplay.
'corrupt' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sad'+'or'='sador'
'sador' with letters rearranged gives 'ROADS'.

(Other definitions for roads that I've seen before include "Thoroughfares" , "Open ways" , "Routes for vehicles" , "an answer to all clues, initially" , "Tracks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
