Got rid of, as arranged (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disposed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'as arranged' is the wordplay.
'as' becomes 'dis' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'arranged' becomes 'posed' (posing is a kind of arranging).
'dis'+'posed'='DISPOSED'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for disposed that I've seen before include "Got rid of" , "of a mind" , "Placed suitably or in order" , "Ready or inclined to do something" , "Inclined, willing" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
