Entering eg Qatar, granddaughter went abroad (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emigrated

'went abroad' is the definition.
(to emigrate is to move to another country)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for emigrated that I've seen before include "gone away?" , "moved overseas" , "Moved abroad" , "Went abroad to live" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
