A gypsy returns through region of the Czech Republic (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moravia

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

'region of the czech republic' is the definition.
'moravia' can be an answer for 'region' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'of the czech republic' bit.

'a gypsy returns through' is the wordplay.
'gypsy' becomes 'rom' (a Rom is a member of the Roma people).
'returns' is a reversal indicator.
'through' becomes 'via' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'rom'='arom'
'arom' reversed gives 'mora'.
'mora'+'via'='MORAVIA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for moravia that I've seen before include "Area of the Czech Republic" , "Region in Czech Republic" , "part of Czech Republic" , "Italian writer - Czech region" .)
