Dismisses part of the wind section we hear (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sacks

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

'dismisses' is the definition.
('sack' can be a synonym of 'dismiss')

'part of the wind section we hear' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'part' could be 'sac' (sac is a kind of part) and 'sac' is found within the answer.
'section' could be 's' (legal abbreviation) and 's' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'k' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sacks that I've seen before include "Dismisses; bags" , "sends up in flames" , "Cashiers" , "Discharges" , "Terminates employment as punishment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
