Remove from roster a sentry (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erase

'remove' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'from roster a sentry' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ERASE' is hidden within 'roster a sentry'.

(Other definitions for erase that I've seen before include "Eliminate" , "Blot out" , "score" , "Blank out" , "Put out of mind" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
