Further out, especially around path (5)

I believe the answer is:

route

'path' is the definition.
(I know that path can be written as route)

'further out especially around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates a hidden word.
'ROUTE' can be found hidden inside 'further out especially'.

(Other definitions for route that I've seen before include "Course, road" , "Send a particular way" , "' - - 66', Nat Cole song" , "Direction taken" , "The way to get somewhere" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
