Admirable woman getting rid of last drug (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heroin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'drug' is the definition.
(I know that Heroin is a drug)

'admirable woman getting rid of last' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'woman' could be 'her' (her refers to a woman) and 'her' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'in' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for heroin that I've seen before include "Class A drug" , "Narcotic powder derived from morphine" , "Highly addictive illegal drug" , "Hard drug" , "Highly addictive narcotic" .)
