Broken tile I mean to get rid of (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eliminate

'rid of' is the definition.
('eliminate' can be a synonym of 'rid of')

'broken tile i mean' is the wordplay.
'broken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tile'+'i'+'mean'='tileimean'
'tileimean' is an anagram of 'ELIMINATE'.

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for eliminate that I've seen before include "Get rid of, or exclude from further stage of game" , "Wipe out" , "Discard - exclude" , "Take out" , "Murder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
