Split low in pot (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vamoose

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

'split' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'low in pot' is the wordplay.
'low' becomes 'moo' (both can mean to make a cow noise).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'pot' becomes 'vase' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'moo' placed into 'vase' is 'VAMOOSE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for vamoose that I've seen before include "Skedaddle - some ova (anag)" , "Depart hurriedly" , "Escape" , "Clear off" , "Get going: leave hurriedly" .)
