Crossword Genius

Way last bit of lentil gets removed from Dahl? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

road

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

'way' is the definition.
(road is a kind of way)

'last bit of lentil gets removed from dahl?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'bit' could be 'o' (resembles 0, a binary digit or bit) and 'o' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'rad' 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 road that I've seen before include "Abbey -, Beatles album" , "For place to anchor" , "Street" , "See 2" , "See 10" .)
