Doctor has boil to get rid of (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abolish

'get rid of' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'doctor has boil' is the wordplay.
'doctor' is an anagram indicator.
'has'+'boil'='hasboil'
'hasboil' with letters rearranged gives 'ABOLISH'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for abolish that I've seen before include "Cancel or abrogate" , "Do away with, rescind" , "ditch" , "Formally do away with" , "Drop" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
