At this point, Father carried by boy out of that place (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

therefrom

'out of that place' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'at this point father carried by boy' is the wordplay.
'at this point' becomes 'here' (here means in this place).
'father' becomes 'fr' (abbreviation as in a priest's title).
'carried by' is an insertion indicator.
'boy' becomes 'tom' ().
'here'+'fr'='herefr'
'herefr' inserted inside 'tom' is 'THEREFROM'.

(Other definitions for therefrom that I've seen before include "Thence" , "Emerging from that place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
