sail

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

'leave port' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'lisa' is the wordplay.
'lisa' anagrams to 'SAIL'.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sail that I've seen before include "Leave harbour" , "Spanker or spinnaker, for example" , "Sheet used to catch the wind" , "Leave shore" , "project" .)
