Kind of home abroad (2,1,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in a way

'kind of' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'home abroad' is the wordplay.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'abroad' becomes 'away' (I've seen this before).
'in'+'away'='IN A WAY'

(Other definitions for in a way that I've seen before include "Sort of, to a limited extent" , "somehow" , "from one point of view" , "To some degree" , "Kind of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
