Terribly close, far outside (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alfresco

'outside' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'terribly close far' is the wordplay.
'terribly' indicates an anagram.
'close'+'far'='closefar'
'closefar' is an anagram of 'ALFRESCO'.

(Other definitions for alfresco that I've seen before include "where it's cool" , "Outdoors, meal perhaps" , "In the open air" , "Outside" , "Open-air" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
