Girl with a lot of go (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vim

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

'go' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'girl with a lot' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'Vi' (short for Violet).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a lot' becomes 'm' ().
'vi'+'m'='VIM'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for vim that I've seen before include "Energy and vigour" , "Pizazz" , "Pep and vigour" , "Pep (informal)" , "Exuberant vigour" .)
