Draw out; an excerpt (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extract

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">This clue is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">draw out</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that draw out can be written as extract)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">an excerpt</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('extract' can be a synonym of 'excerpt')</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for extract that I've seen before include "Determine the value of" , "Remove - piece" , "Take or pull out - say a tooth" , "Draw out by force" , "concentrate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
