Dismiss from the priesthood (7)

I believe the answer is:

unfrock

(Other definitions for unfrock that I've seen before include "Dismiss priest from office- remove garment" , "Take orders from" , "Deprive of ecclesiastic status" , "Deprive (clergyman) of office" , "Depose a priest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
