Room left for launch zone (9)

I believe the answer is:

spaceport

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

'launch zone' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'room left' is the wordplay.
'room' becomes 'space' (room can mean space or an empty area).
'left' becomes 'port' (left side of a ship - opposite of starboard).
'space'+'port'='SPACEPORT'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for spaceport that I've seen is " Cape Canaveral".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
