Remove section of enormous table (4)

I believe the answer is:

oust

'remove' is the definition.
(I know that oust is a more specific form of the action remove)

'section of enormous table' is the wordplay.
'section of' indicates a hidden word.
'OUST' is hidden within 'enormous table'.

(Other definitions for oust that I've seen before include "Expel (from a place)" , "Remove and replace" , "Extract" , "Force from office" , "Remove from a position of power" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
