'keep away' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a chasm' is the wordplay.

'a'+'void'='AVOID'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for avoid that I've seen before include "Bypass" , "Evade - escape" , "Fend off" , "(If you can't 10), keep away from" , "Duck" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
