Pull out old pamphlet (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extract

'pull out' is the definition.
('extract' can be a synonym of 'pull out')

'old pamphlet' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'ex'.
'pamphlet' becomes 'tract' ('tract' can be a synonym of 'pamphlet').
'ex'+'tract'='EXTRACT'

(Other definitions for extract that I've seen before include "Passage selected from a larger work" , "Find out" , "Uproot by force" , "Short sample" , "Clipping" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
