Go ahead or go back to the page before (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

precede

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

'go ahead' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'go back to the page before' is the wordplay.
'go back' becomes 'recede' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'the page before' becomes 'p' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'recede' after 'p' is 'PRECEDE'.

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for precede that I've seen before include "Go in front" , "Occur before" , "Forerun" , "go before the others" , "Walk in front of" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
