Taking away (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

removal

'taking away' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for removal that I've seen before include "(Act of) taking away" , "Transferral" , "The taking (of something) to another place" , "These vans dispatch your house contents" , "changing places" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the Irish Times (Simplex), The Guardian, The Telegraph, the New York Times, the L.A. Times Daily and The Times.
