Save others after overlooking final indication to proceed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rescue

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

'save' is the definition.
(rescuing is a kind of saving)

'others after overlooking final indication to proceed' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'indication' could be 'cue' and 'cue' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'res' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rescue that I've seen before include "delivery" , "Free someone from trouble" , "liberation" , "Free - recovery" , "Set free from harm and evil" .)
