Strip joint on street (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

divest

'strip' is the definition.
(I know that strip can be written as divest)

'joint on street' is the wordplay.
'joint' becomes 'dive' (I've seen this before).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'dive'+'st'='DIVEST'

(Other definitions for divest that I've seen before include "Strip (someone of clothing)" , "Take off, say clothing" , "Relieve (oneself of garment)" , "Deprive, strip" , "disrobe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
