away

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

'out of here?' is the definition.
'away' can be an answer for 'out' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'of here?' bit.

'a path' is the wordplay.
'path' becomes 'way' (way is a kind of path).
'a'+'way'='AWAY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for away that I've seen before include "Having started" , "On vacation" , "Departed" , "travelling" , "Away in the distance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
