Stand it turning remote (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

distant

'remote' is the definition.
(I know that remote can be written as distant)

'stand it turning' is the wordplay.
'turning' indicates an anagram.
'stand'+'it'='standit'
'standit' anagrammed gives 'DISTANT'.

(Other definitions for distant that I've seen before include "Far away" , "Absent - coming from a far-away place" , "Aloof" , "overseas?" , "Remote in time or place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
