Remove during jousting (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oust

'remove' is the definition.
(I know that oust is a more specific form of remove)

'during jousting' is the wordplay.
'during' indicates a hidden word.
'OUST' is hidden within 'jousting'.

(Other definitions for oust that I've seen before include "Overthrow" , "Extract" , "Send packing" , "Expel (from a place)" , "Get rid of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
