Far from being prepared to stand it (7)

I believe the answer is:

distant

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

'far from' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'prepared to stand it' is the wordplay.
'stand it' anagrams to 'DISTANT'.
But, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'being' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for distant that I've seen before include "Far from - reserved" , "Remote in time or place" , "Far away" , "cool" , "Absent - coming from a far-away place" .)
