Supervise we hear away from this country (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oversea

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

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

'supervise we hear away from' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'away' could be 'a' (abbreviation as used in sports fixtures) and 'a' is found in the answer.
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'verse' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'this' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oversea that I've seen before include "abroad" , "Foreign" , "across the waves" .)
