More tonic ordered for removal (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extraction

'removal' is the definition.
(extraction is a kind of removal)

'more tonic ordered' is the wordplay.
'more' becomes 'extra' (I've seen this before).
'ordered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tonic' anagrammed gives 'ction'.
'extra'+'ction'='EXTRACTION'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for extraction that I've seen before include "Descent" , "Ethnic origin" , "one suffers with mouth open?" , "Dental operation" , "breeding" .)
