Rob and Isolde travelling around park (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

despoil

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

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

'isolde travelling around park' is the wordplay.
'travelling' indicates an anagram.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'park' becomes 'p' (this might be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'isolde' with letters rearranged gives 'desoil'.
'desoil' enclosing 'p' is 'DESPOIL'.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for despoil that I've seen before include "Plunder, devastate" , "Ravage" , "Plunder - piled so (anag)" , "strip" , "sack" .)
