Remote A-road? (4)

I believe the answer is:

away

'remote' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a-road?' is the wordplay.
'road?' becomes 'way' (road is a kind of way).
'a'+'way'='AWAY'

(Other definitions for away that I've seen before include "Departed" , "Absent, gone" , "(Of sports fixture) at opponents' ground" , "Detached" , "playing at United?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
