Distance, say, from stunt (4)
I believe the answer is:
feat
'stunt' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'distance say' is the wordplay.
'distance' becomes 'feet'.
'say' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'feet' sounds like 'FEAT'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for feat that I've seen before include "Exploit; achievement" , "Notable achievement" , "Great deed" , "Remarkable achievement of fate" , "An accomplishment of fate" .)
