O is a shortened form of on (Chambers.)
O = ON for the end of CIAO
ROO(m) = 'opportunity' in RUST+ LETHE = 'oblivion'.
..Lethe - a river of the underworld causing forgetfulness; oblivion
For the def in 14 - the correct term for 'lead' is ''rule the roast'', which has mistakenly come to be ''RULE THE ROOST'' (look in Chambers under 'roast').
