From a height, see one toilet pest (7)

I believe the answer is:

aloofly

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

'from a height' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'one toilet pest' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'toilet' becomes 'loo' (loo can informally mean a toilet).
'pest' becomes 'fly'.
'a'+'loo'+'fly'='ALOOFLY'

'see' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aloofly that I've seen before include "Keeping apart from" , "Distantly" , "How to disconnect, perhaps" , "in a cold manner?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
