Crossword Genius

Far away from exploding meteor (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

remote

'far away' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'exploding meteor' is the wordplay.
'exploding' indicates an anagram.
'meteor' is an anagram of 'REMOTE'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for remote that I've seen before include "Slight possibility" , "'Distant, out-of-the-way (6)'" , "Far distant in space or time" , "Distant (from civilisation?)" , "gadget" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
