Remove — kill (4,3)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

4,3

take out

This clue is a double definition.

'remove' is the first definition.
(I know that remove can be written as take out)

'kill' is the second definition.
(I know that kill is a more specific form of the action take out)

(Other definitions for take out that I've seen before include "kebab, perhaps" , "As gangster, kill" , "Extract; kill" , "Remove from within" , "Remove; escort" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
