Leave time to have procured (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

got

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

'leave time' is the wordplay.
'leave' becomes 'go' (to go is to depart or leave).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'go'+'t'='GOT'

'to have' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for got that I've seen before include "Acquired" , "Obtained" , "came by" , "Caught" , "Received; understood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
