Where seafarers have to travel? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

afar

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

'travel?' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.

'where seafarers have' is the wordplay.
'have' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'AFAR' is hidden within 'where seafarers'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for afar that I've seen before include "beyond the horizon" , "Many a mile" , "A long distance away" , "Way-out" , "Distant, not near" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
