Get rid of some Hindi spellings (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dispel

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

'some hindi spellings' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'DISPEL' is hidden in the letters of 'hindi spellings'.

(Other definitions for dispel that I've seen before include "Make (something) disappear" , "Drive away and scatter" , "Lisped (anag)" , "Make disappear, doubts perhaps" , "Banish, drive away" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
