Relic, it seems, contains extracts (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elicits

'extracts' is the definition.
('elicit' can be a synonym of 'extract')

'relic it seems contains' is the wordplay.
'contains' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ELICITS' is hidden in the letters of 'relic it seems'.

(Another definition for elicits that I've seen is " Draws out, response or information".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
