Stage naked ramble? It's allowed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

legal

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

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

'stage naked ramble?' is the wordplay.
'stage' becomes 'leg' (a leg is a stage of a competition).
'naked ramble?' becomes 'al' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'leg'+'al'='LEGAL'

'it's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for legal that I've seen before include "Rightful" , "It's acceptable" , "In accordance with statute" , "OK as an immigrant?" , "Conforming with the law" .)
