Go for a walk but with a meal out (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ambulate

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

'go for a walk' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'but with a meal out' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'a'+'meal'='ameal'
'but' put after 'ameal' is 'amealbut'.
'amealbut' anagrammed gives 'AMBULATE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ambulate that I've seen before include "Go for a stroll" , "Walk (technical)" .)
