Remove from office piece of spurious technology (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oust

'remove from office' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'of spurious technology' is the wordplay.
'of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'OUST' can be found hidden inside 'spurious technology'.

'piece' is the link.

(Other definitions for oust that I've seen before include "Give marching orders" , "Overthrow" , "Force out; supplant" , "responsible for expulsions" , "kick out" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
