Out of mistrust, I call from the country (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rustic

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

'out of mistrust i call' is the wordplay.
'out of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'RUSTIC' is hidden within 'mistrust i call'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rustic that I've seen before include "clodhopper" , "Simple and unsophisticated as of the countryside" , "Charmingly simple" , "Quaintly countrified" , "Characteristic of the countryside" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
