Arrive to take care of male with minimal energy (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

come

'arrive' is the definition.
(coming is a kind of arriving)

'care of male with minimal energy' is the wordplay.
'care of' becomes 'co' (c/o can mean 'care of' when addressing mail).
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'minimal' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'energy' is 'e'.
'co'+'m'+'e'='COME'

'to take' is the link.

(Other definitions for come that I've seen before include "Draw near" , "Make a forceful impression" , "' - - fly with me'" , "Turn up" , "Arrive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
