Six with place to stay (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

visit

'stay' is the definition.
(visit is a kind of stay)

'six with place' is the wordplay.
'six' becomes 'vi' (roman numeral).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'place' becomes 'sit' (sitting is a kind of placing**).
'vi'+'sit'='VISIT'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for visit that I've seen before include "Look up" , "Call on - stay" , "See; temporary stay" , "Call in to see, socially or on business" , "Go and see (someone)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
