Go nicely in a curve round a corner (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blend

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

'go nicely' is the definition.
'blend' can be an answer for 'go' (synonyms). I'm not certain of the 'nicely' bit.

'curve round a corner' is the wordplay.
'curve' becomes 'bend' (synonyms).
'round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a corner' becomes 'l' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'bend' placed around 'l' is 'BLEND'.

'in a' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blend that I've seen before include "Combine into one" , "Mix and combine" , "Amalgamate" , "Intermix" , "Combine together" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
