<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">dismiss from consideration</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for rule out that I've seen before include "discount" , "Exclude as a possibility" , "Eliminate from consideration - using drawing stick?" , "Exclude as irrelevant or inadmissible" , "Eliminate, exclude as irrelevant" .)
