It's raised far from silently (4)

I believe the answer is:

roof

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

'it's raised far from silently' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'it's raised far from' is the wordplay.
'it's raised far' becomes 'ro' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'from' becomes 'of' (of can mean from or belonging to).
'ro'+'of'='ROOF'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for roof that I've seen before include "House's top" , "It could be slated" , "Upper covering" , "Topping structure" , "One is angry when one hits it" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
