Over there temperature painfully affected the lady (7)

I believe the answer is:

thither

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

'over there' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'temperature painfully affected the lady' is the wordplay.
'temperature' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'painfully affected' becomes 'hit' (I've seen this in another clue. I am not sure about the 'painfully' bit.).
'the lady' becomes 'her' (her refers to a woman).
't'+'hit'+'her'='THITHER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thither that I've seen before include "To that place" , "in that direction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
