Remove a narrow piece (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strip

I believe this is a double definition.

'remove' is the first definition.
(stripping is a kind of removing)

'a narrow piece' is the second definition.
(as in a strip of material or land)

(Other definitions for strip that I've seen before include "Kind of lighting" , "Team kit" , "Tear off" , "Denude; long narrow piece of fabric" , "Undress (provocatively)" .)
