Grazing land on far side of river (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pasture

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

'grazing land' is the definition.
(I know that grazing land can be written as pasture)

'far side of river' is the wordplay.
'far side of' becomes 'past' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'river' becomes 'ure' (River Ure).
'past'+'ure'='PASTURE'

'on' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pasture that I've seen before include "Field suitable for grazing" , "Land for grazing cattle" , "Grass for grazing" , "Stock holder, perhaps" , "Land suitable for grazing" .)
