Stay on border (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reside

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

'stay' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'on border' is the wordplay.
'on' becomes 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to').
'border' becomes 'side' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
're'+'side'='RESIDE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reside that I've seen before include "Stay - desire (anag)" , "Live in permanently" , "Dwell permanently" , "Make one's home permanently" , "Dwell in desire" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
