'separated' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adverbs. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'from sadie' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates an anagram (from the letters).
'sadie' is an anagram of 'ASIDE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aside that I've seen before include "remark, incidentally" , "secretly" , "Actors comment to his audience" , "In reserve; actor's remark to audience" , "Words spoken apart in an undertone" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
