Unconventional door, say? (3-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

way-out

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

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

'door say?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'door say?' could be 'way' (door is a kind of way) and 'way' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'out' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for way-out that I've seen before include "Exit - eccentric" , "Unconventional; exit" , "Strikingly unconventional" , "John --, celebrated cricket commentator" , "Offbeat" .)
