Remove from the passage (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extract

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'remove' is the first definition.
(I know that extract is a kind of remove)

'the passage' is the second definition.
(extract is a kind of passage)

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for extract that I've seen before include "Extirpate" , "Passage selected from a larger work" , "Remove; select (a passage) for quotation" , "Take out with effort, say a tooth" , "Take or pull out - say a tooth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
