Out of boredom, alas, going back for some ice cream as well (7)

'some ice cream as well' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'out of boredom alas going back' is the wordplay.
'out of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'going back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'edomala' is hidden in the letters of 'boredom alas'.
'edomala' in reverse letter order is 'ALAMODE'.

'for' is the link.
