Failed miserably away from home (6)
I believe the answer is:
afield
'away from home' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'failed miserably' is the wordplay.
'miserably' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'failed' with letters rearranged gives 'AFIELD'.
(Other definitions for afield that I've seen before include "At a distance ("far ____")" , "away from home" .)
