Ross

I believe the answer is:

nor

'this' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'way for the country' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'n' (Compass direction - North).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the country' becomes 'or' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'n'+'or'='NOR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nor that I've seen before include "And not; Norman (abbr.)" , "Neither one ... the other" , "In addition, not" , "Negative word" , "It's also not" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
