Has to boil stew or get rid of it (7)

I believe the answer is:

abolish

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

'get rid of it' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'has to boil stew' is the wordplay.
'stew' indicates an anagram.
'has'+'boil'='hasboil'
'hasboil' anagrammed gives 'ABOLISH'.

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for abolish that I've seen before include "Terminate" , "Put an end to (practice)" , "Annul - eradicate" , "Do away with - end" , "Scrap" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
