He takes Moira out (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mario

'he' is the definition.

'moira out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'moira' anagrammed gives 'MARIO'.

'takes' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for mario that I've seen before include "Lanza" , "-- Puzo, author of The Godfather" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
