Figure can go to criminal (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

octagon

'figure' is the definition.
(type of geometrical figure)

'can go to criminal' is the wordplay.
'criminal' is an anagram indicator.
'can'+'go'+'to'='cangoto'
'cangoto' anagrammed gives 'OCTAGON'.

(Other definitions for octagon that I've seen before include "Eight sided figure" , "Eight-sided shape" , "Figure of many sides" , "Eight-sided room" , "plane figure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
