Dump rotten cargo (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

offload

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

'rotten cargo' is the wordplay.
'rotten' becomes 'off' (rotten food is 'off').
'cargo' becomes 'load' (synonyms).
'off'+'load'='OFFLOAD'

(Other definitions for offload that I've seen before include "deliver goods" , "Get rid of (unwanted item or burden)" , "9 [JETTISON]" , "Dump" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
