Go without nookie? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exit

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

'go' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'without nookie?' is the wordplay.
'without' becomes 'ex' (I've seen this in other clues).
'nookie?' becomes 'it' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ex'+'it'='EXIT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for exit that I've seen before include "Actor's departure" , "Escape route?" , "walk away" , "Means of egress" , "Road leaving motorway" .)
