Come to terms with Frost reworking around ''Away!'' to a degree (6,2,4)

'a degree' is the definition.
(Master of Arts is an example)

'come to terms with frost reworking around 'away'' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'around' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found within the answer.
''away'' could be 'a' (abbreviation as used in sports fixtures) and 'a' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'terms' is 'mster' which is present in the remaining letters.
The remaining letters 'farts' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' is the link.
