Set back? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scenery

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

'set back?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'set' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'set' could be 'scene' (scene is a kind of set) and 'scene' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scenery that I've seen before include "(Constituents of) landscape" , "episode" , "Landscape, view" , "Attractive landscape" , "Picturesque view or stage dicor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Wall Street Journal.
