Put down skip oddly in warehouse (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deposit

'put down' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'skip oddly in warehouse' is the wordplay.
'oddly' indicates alternate letters (letters in the odd-numbered positions are used).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'warehouse' becomes 'depot' (I've seen this before).
The alternating letters of 'skip' are 'si'.
'si' going within 'depot' is 'DEPOSIT'.

(Other definitions for deposit that I've seen before include "Put down - leave behind" , "Down payment made to secure goods" , "Put money into a bank account" , "store" , "Sediment or bank lodgment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
