Remove a seer, somehow (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erase

'remove' is the definition.
(to erase is to remove)

'a seer somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'seer'='aseer'
'aseer' anagrammed gives 'ERASE'.

(Other definitions for erase that I've seen before include "Remove evidence of" , "Rub out, cancel" , "To remove all trace" , "Blank out" , "score" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
