The isle to come back to? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erin

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

'the isle' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'come back to?' is the wordplay.
'back' indicates one should take the final letters (the letter at the back).
'to?' becomes 'rin' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
The final letter of 'come' is 'e'.
'e'+'rin'='ERIN'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
