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

'constituents getting work done from home for example' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'contrary lifestyle to merit some' is the wordplay.
'contrary' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'yletomer' is hidden within 'lifestyle to merit'.
'yletomer' reversed gives 'REMOTELY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for remotely that I've seen before include "From a long way off" , "From a distance" , "by any chance?" , "far away" , "from afar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
