Isolated a section (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apart

'isolated' is the definition.
(I know that isolated can be written as apart)

'a section' is the wordplay.
'section' becomes 'part' (synonyms).
'a'+'part'='APART'

(Other definitions for apart that I've seen before include "aloof" , "in isolation" , "Separated; to one side" , "Separated physically" , "First Christmas present from my love" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
