Not all come on silent journey to work (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

commute

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

'journey to work' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'not all come on silent' is the wordplay.
'not all' means to remove the last letter (not all of the word).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'silent' becomes 'mute' (synonyms).
'come' with its last letter taken away is 'com'.
'com'+'mute'='COMMUTE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for commute that I've seen before include "Travel regularly to work" , "make AC/DC split the > daily journey" , "Travel daily to work; mitigate" , "Exchange - travel to work" , "To reduce severity of the punishment" .)
