Not all characters coming in together — is editor out? (9)

I believe the answer is:

etherised

'out?' is the definition.
(etherised can mean knocked out with ether)

'not all characters coming in together is editor' is the wordplay.
'not all characters coming in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (only some of the characters in the clue).
'ETHERISED' is hidden in the letters of 'together is editor'.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
