Boils furiously in a hard scrap (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abolish

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

'boils furiously in a hard' is the wordplay.
'furiously' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'hard' becomes 'h'.
'boils' is an anagram of 'bolis'.
'a'+'h'='ah'
'bolis' going within 'ah' is 'ABOLISH'.

(Other definitions for abolish that I've seen before include "Stop or put an end to" , "Quash" , "Formally do away with" , "Nullify" , "Put an end to, a rule perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
