Section of the Far East (4)
I believe the answer is:
area
'section' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'of the far east' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'AREA' is hidden within 'far east'.
(Other definitions for area that I've seen before include "part of town" , "Space for a specific purpose, say picnic" , "Field of activity or surface" , "District; locale" , "land" .)
