Introduction before a stroll? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

preamble

'introduction' is the definition.
(I know that preamble is a type of introduction)

'before a stroll?' is the wordplay.
'before' becomes 'pre' (prefix meaning 'before').
'a stroll?' becomes 'amble' ('amble' can be a synonym of 'stroll').
'pre'+'amble'='PREAMBLE'

(Other definitions for preamble that I've seen before include "Introductory explanation" , "Make introduction" , "Introductory or opening statement" , "Introductory part of document or law" , "the first thing one reads?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
