She goes to Rio in S. America (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rosa

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

'she' is the definition.

'rio in s america' is the wordplay.
'rio in s' becomes 'ro' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'america' becomes 'SA' (South America, one of the Americas).
'ro'+'sa'='ROSA'

'goes to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rosa that I've seen before include "Parks" , "Sub .... - in confidence" .)
