expat

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

'play back recording including kiss' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'someone far from home' is the wordplay.
'someone' becomes 'ex' (ex is a kind of someone).
'far from' becomes 'p' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'home' becomes 'at home' (synonyms).
'ex'+'p'+'at'='EXPAT'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for expat that I've seen before include "he has emigrated" , "who now uses overseas address?" , "One living abroad (abbrev.)" , "one settled abroad" , "One who lives abroad" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
