Doctor finally is paged and pain unexpectedly is vanishing (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disappearing

'vanishing' is the definition.
('disappear' can be a synonym of 'vanish')

'doctor finally is paged and pain unexpectedly' is the wordplay.
'finally' says to take the final letters.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'unexpectedly' indicates anagramming the letters.
The last letter of 'doctor' is 'r'.
'r'+'is'+'paged'+'pain'='rispagedpain'
'rispagedpain' with letters rearranged gives 'DISAPPEARING'.

'is' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
