Apparently removes end from items (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

details

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'apparently removes end from' is the first definition.
(de-tail could mean to remove something's tail)

'items' is the second definition.
(I know this)

(Other definitions for details that I've seen before include "Particulars, small parts" , "Small features" , "Minutiae" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
