Dismiss what’s upsetting to us (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oust

'dismiss' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'upsetting to us' is the wordplay.
'upsetting' indicates an anagram.
'to'+'us'='tous'
'tous' is an anagram of 'OUST'.

'what's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for oust that I've seen before include "Remove and replace" , "Extract" , "Show the door to" , "Drive out, expel" , "Expel - eject" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
