Turn off none? That's plain (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

llano

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

'that's plain' is the definition.
(a grassy plain)

'turn off none?' is the wordplay.
'turn' says the letters should be written backwards.
'off' becomes 'all' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'none?' becomes 'no'.
'all' backwards is 'lla'.
'lla'+'no'='LLANO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for llano that I've seen before include "Flat area" , "Treeless area" , "(South American) grassy plain" , "Treeless grassy plain in South America" , "Grassy plain in South?America" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
