attend

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

'go to it a couple of times and stop with' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'go to it a couple of times and' is the wordplay.
'a couple of times' can mean two replacements for 'time'.
'go' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'went' mean this ('go' can mean move)).
'to it' becomes 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT').
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'e'+'t'+'t'+'and'='ettand'
'ettand' is an anagram of 'ATTEND'.

Can you help me to learn more?
