Odd way to go from place to place (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strange

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

'odd' is the definition.
(I know that odd can be written as strange)

'way to go from place to place' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'way' could be 'st' (abbreviation for street) and 'st' is present in the answer.
'go' could be 'range' (ranging is a kind of going) and 'range' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for strange that I've seen before include "Odd kind of garnets" , "Queer" , "Odd or unknown" , "Offbeat" , "Weird, eerie" .)
