Transported over great distances? Incredible! (3-7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

far-fetched

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

'incredible' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'transported over great distances?' is the wordplay.
'transported' becomes 'fetched' (fetching is a kind of transporting).
'over' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'great distances?' becomes 'arf' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'fetched' going around 'arf' is 'FAR-FETCHED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for far-fetched that I've seen before include "Highly implausible" , "Unlikely" , "Incredible" , "(Tale) hard to believe" , "Forced - unconvincing" .)
