Ross

I believe the answer is:

office

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

'where to work' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'away for a cut price' is the wordplay.
'away' becomes 'off' (synonyms).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a cut price' becomes 'ice' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'off'+'ice'='OFFICE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for office that I've seen before include "Workroom" , "employment > service" , "Professional or clerical duties are performed here" , "Business premises" , "Place for administrative business" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
