Exit is unconventional and quite wrong? (3-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

way-out

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

'exit' is the definition.
(I know that exit can be written as way out)

'unconventional and quite wrong?' is the wordplay.
'unconventional' becomes 'w' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'quite' becomes 'ay' (both can mean 'yes').
'wrong?' becomes 'out' (eg a calculation might be 'out').
'w'+'ay'+'out'='WAY-OUT'

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for way-out that I've seen before include "Exit - eccentric" , "Offbeat" , "Exit - weird" , "Unconventional; exit" , "Extremely unconventional" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
