Get rid of menial tie (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eliminate

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

'of menial tie' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates anagramming the letters (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'menial'+'tie'='menialtie'
'menialtie' anagrammed gives 'ELIMINATE'.

(Other definitions for eliminate that I've seen before include "Take out" , "defeat" , "Get rid of, or exclude from further stage of game" , "Remove from contention" , "Discard - exclude" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
