Somebody fluffed? Out with it! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

take

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

'somebody' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'fluffed? out with it' is the wordplay.
'fluffed? out with' becomes 'tak' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'it' becomes 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT').
'tak'+'e'='TAKE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for take that I've seen before include "Receive; subtract" , "Snatch" , "catch" , "Endure; single recording" , "Procure" .)
