Remove an organ and hand over (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deliver

'hand over' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'remove an organ' is the wordplay.
'remove' becomes 'de' (I've seen this in other clues).
'an organ' becomes 'liver' (liver is a kind of organ).
'de'+'liver'='DELIVER'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for deliver that I've seen before include "Hand over (letter)" , "Set free, provide" , "Rid" , "Make a speech - free" , "Handover" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
