Eine Frau he's wed, astray for so long in Berlin (3,11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

auf wiedersehen

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

'so long in berlin' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'eine frau he's wed astray' is the wordplay.
'astray' indicates an anagram.
'eine'+'frau'+'hes'+'wed'='einefrauheswed'
'einefrauheswed' is an anagram of 'AUF WIEDERSEHEN'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for auf wiedersehen that I've seen before include "see you" , "Wanting to say farewell" , "so long in parts of Europe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
