Implores to move to city (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

metropolis

'city' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'implores to move' is the wordplay.
'move' indicates anagramming the letters.
'implores'+'to'='imploresto'
'imploresto' anagrammed gives 'METROPOLIS'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for metropolis that I've seen before include "Main city" , "See" , "Chief city" , "capital" , "Big city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
