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

'away from reddenings' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'i hear descendant of bishop runs' is the wordplay.
'i hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'descendant' becomes 'son' (I've seen this in another clue).
'of' indicates an anagram (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'son' sounds like 'sun'.
'b'+'runs'='bruns'
'bruns' is an anagram of 'burns'.
'sun'+'burns'='SUNBURNS'

Can you help me to learn more?
