Bound to take over room (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lounge

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

'room' is the definition.
(I know that lounge is a type of room)

'bound to take over' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'over' could be 'o' (cricket abbreviation) and 'o' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'lunge' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lounge that I've seen before include "Comfortable room - relax in it" , "Sit or recline comfortably" , "Living-room" , "Living area" , "Recline lazily; room" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
