Dispatched some presents (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sent

'dispatched' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'some presents' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'SENT' is hidden in the letters of 'presents'.

(Other definitions for sent that I've seen before include "Dispatched" , "Transmitted" , "Despatched" , "charged with emotion?" , "Told to go - enthralled" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
