Outside, everyone no good looking on? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eying

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

'looking on?' is the definition.
'eying' can be an answer for 'looking' (eye can mean to look at something). I am not sure about the 'on?' bit.

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eying that I've seen before include "In the process of close scrutiny" , "Looking at closely" , "Watching closely" , "Looking at with interest" , "Observing" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
