Pull away with the others (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wrest

'pull away' is the definition.
('wrest' can be a synonym of 'pull away')

'with the others' is the wordplay.
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'the others' becomes 'rest' (I've seen this in other clues).
'w'+'rest'='WREST'

(Other definitions for wrest that I've seen before include "Seize by forceful means" , "The old piano tuner" , "Remove with force" , "Wrench away" , "Forcibly remove (from another's possession)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
