Father's wise, in a way (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

passage

'way' is the definition.
(I know that passage is a type of way)

'father's wise' is the wordplay.
'father's' becomes 'pa's' (pa can mean dad or father).
'wise' becomes 'sage' (similar in meaning).
'pas'+'sage'='PASSAGE'

'in a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for passage that I've seen before include "Book extract; transit" , "crossing" , "Sea/air journey" , "street" , "Alley - corridor" .)
