Deprive of some particular object (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rob

'deprive' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'some particular object' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ROB' can be found hidden inside 'particular object'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rob that I've seen before include "Steal or purloin" , "Burgle" , "sack" , "Take without consent from the owner" , "boy's name" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
