Agree while getting told to go? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assent

'agree' is the definition.
(assenting is a kind of agreeing)

'while getting told to go?' is the wordplay.
'while' becomes 'as'.
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'told to go?' becomes 'sent'.
'as'+'sent'='ASSENT'

(Other definitions for assent that I've seen before include "Give consent" , "Agree, acquiesce" , "Say yes" , "Agree and concur" , "Give the thumbs-up" .)
