In a separate place like below (7)

I believe the answer is:

asunder

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

'in a separate place' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'like below' is the wordplay.
'like' becomes 'as'.
'below' becomes 'under' (synonyms).
'as'+'under'='ASUNDER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for asunder that I've seen before include "(Torn) into parts" , "going to pieces" , "Into parts or pieces" , "(Broken) apart" , "Apart (archaic)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
