Completely eject one side (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outright

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'completely' is the definition.
(outright means completely or totally)

'eject one side' is the wordplay.
'eject one' becomes 'out' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'side' becomes 'right'.
'out'+'right'='OUTRIGHT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for outright that I've seen before include "Without restriction or reservation" , "Completely and openly - say a win" , "Completely and thoroughly" , "Without qualification" , "Totally" .)
