Do get accustomed to being put out (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doused

'being put out' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'do get accustomed' is the wordplay.
'get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'accustomed' becomes 'used' (I've seen this before).
'do'+'used'='DOUSED'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for doused that I've seen before include "Extinguished, threw water over" , "Plunged something into water or extinguished a fire" , "Drenched with liquid" , "put out" , "Drenched, soaked" .)

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