pass on

'i abandon' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'obsession and leave everything behind' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found in the answer.
'leave' could be 'pass' (pass is a kind of leave) and 'pass' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'o' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pass on that I've seen before include "Bequeath" , "go forward" , "Refuse" , "Hand over - die" .)
