Went out (6)
I believe the answer is:
exited
'went out' is the definition.
('exit' can be a synonym of 'go out')
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for exited that I've seen before include "Left the stage" , "Went out, probably through door" , "Go out of a place" , "Took one's leave" , "Went out as actors do" .)
