Far away, on a little bit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

remote

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

'on a little bit' is the wordplay.
'on' becomes 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to').
'a little bit' becomes 'mote' (I've seen this in another clue).
're'+'mote'='REMOTE'

(Other definitions for remote that I've seen before include "Cold" , "Device for controlling apparatus from a distance" , "Withdrawn" , "Far way like meteor" , "Slight possibility" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
