Bird tucks into cream daughter put out (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eliminated

'out' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bird tucks into cream daughter' is the wordplay.
'bird' becomes 'mina' (mina is a kind of bird).
'tucks into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'cream' becomes 'elite' (I've seen this in another clue).
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'mina' going into 'elite' is 'eliminate'.
'eliminate'+'d'='ELIMINATED'

'put' acts as a link.

(Another definition for eliminated that I've seen is " Cancelled".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
