Blank out periods of time with ecstasy (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erase

'blank out' is the definition.
(blank out can mean to erase or delete)

'periods of time with ecstasy' is the wordplay.
'periods of time' becomes 'eras' (an era is a period of time).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'ecstasy' becomes 'E' (informal term for the drug).
'eras'+'e'='ERASE'

(Other definitions for erase that I've seen before include "Delete" , "Remove recorded material" , "Blot out" , "Blank out" , "Remove all traces of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
