Failed move away from home (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

afield

'away from home' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'failed move' is the wordplay.
'move' indicates anagramming the letters.
'failed' is an anagram of 'AFIELD'.

(Other definitions for afield that I've seen before include "At a distance ("far ____")" , "away from home" .)
