Visit place and don't leave (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stay put

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

'visit' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'place and don't leave' is the wordplay.
'place' becomes 'put' (synonyms).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'don't leave' becomes 'stay' (I've seen this in another clue).
'put' after 'stay' is 'STAY PUT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stay put that I've seen before include "Remain in place, don't move" , "Remain in one place" , "Stick around" , "Remain unmoving" , "Informally, don't move - remain in situ" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
