Chuck out some of the rejections (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eject

'chuck out' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'some of the rejections' is the wordplay.
'some of' indicates a hidden word.
'EJECT' is hidden within 'rejections'.

(Other definitions for eject that I've seen before include "Release a cassette from a video recorder, for instance" , "Boot out" , "bounce" , "Remove forcibly" , "Dismiss" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
