Freewheels after starting to move to another place (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elsewhere

'to another place' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'freewheels after starting to move' is the wordplay.
'after starting' means to remove the first letter (only the letters found after the first are used).
'to move' is an anagram indicator.
'freewheels' with its initial letter taken off is 'reewheels'.
'reewheels' with letters rearranged gives 'ELSEWHERE'.

(Other definitions for elsewhere that I've seen before include "In a different place" , "abroad?" , "away" , "Not at home" , "different places" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
