Stray from the city all roads lead back to (they say) (4)
I believe the answer is:
roam
'stray' is the definition.
(I know that stray can be written as roam)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roam that I've seen before include "Stray" , "Wander about aimlessly" , "range" , "Walk without a specific destination" , "Ramble without purpose" .)
