A way to call up, being indifferent (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apathetic

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

'indifferent' is the definition.
('apathetic' can be a synonym of 'indifferent')

'a way to call up' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'way' could be 'path' (path is a kind of way) and 'path' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'being' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for apathetic that I've seen before include "Listless, lacking in interest" , "Showing no emotion or interest" , "Uninterested, lethargic" , "I hate pact, being disintersted" , "past caring?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
