Leave with a gazelle (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

goa

'gazelle' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'leave with a' is the wordplay.
'leave' becomes 'go'.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'go'+'a'='GOA'

(Other definitions for goa that I've seen before include "Former Portuguese colony on India's west coast" , "Part of West India" , "Indian W. coast state" , "gazelle?" , "Suitable place in India" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
