Possibly used to being thrown out (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ousted

'being thrown out' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'possibly used to' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'used'+'to'='usedto'
'usedto' is an anagram of 'OUSTED'.

(Other definitions for ousted that I've seen before include "Put out as of office or government" , "Expelled from office or power" , "Drove or ejected from office" , "Expelled or dethroned" , "Thrown out" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
