Went on to add a grass border (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resumed

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

'went on' is the definition.
(resuming is a kind of going on)

'add a grass border' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'add' could be 'sum' (synonyms) and 'sum' is found within the answer.
'grass' could be 'reed' (type of grass plant) and 'reed' is found in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
