To leave the land (4)

I believe the answer is:

togo

'the land' is the definition.
(Togo is an example)

'to leave' is the wordplay.
'leave' becomes 'go'.
'to'+'go'='TOGO'

(Other definitions for togo that I've seen before include "place in Africa" , "African country E. of Ghana" , "W African republic" , "Remaining united" , "West African republic" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
