Herb travelling in Reno and Goa (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oregano

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

'herb' is the definition.
(I know that oregano is a type of herb)

'travelling in reno and goa' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'goa' is 'gao' which is within the remaining letters.
The remaining letters 'ore' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
