Choose to go to pot? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

opt

'choose' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'go to pot?' is the wordplay.
'go' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'went' mean this ('go' can mean move)).
'pot' anagrammed gives 'OPT'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for opt that I've seen before include "Hold in the highest esteem" , "Have preference for something" , "Make a choice" , "Plump for" , "Decide between possibilities, choose" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
