Let rip with Edwin (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rented

'let' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'rip with edwin' is the wordplay.
'rip' becomes 'rent' ('rent' can be a synonym of 'rip').
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'edwin' becomes 'ed' (I've seen this in other clues).
'rent'+'ed'='RENTED'

(Other definitions for rented that I've seen before include "Leased" , "Taken for hire" , "Let for money" , "Hired - tender (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
