A technique abroad (4)

I believe the answer is:

away

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

'a technique' is the wordplay.
'technique' becomes 'way'.
'a'+'way'='AWAY'

(Other definitions for away that I've seen before include "SECOND PART OF 4 DOWN" , "SECOND PART OF 18" , "football result!" , "Chelsea's game at Old Trafford is" , "Missing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
