Remove those pointed ears, possibly? (5)
I believe the answer is:
erase
'remove' is the definition.
(to erase is to remove)
'those pointed ears possibly?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'ears' is 'eras' which is within the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for erase that I've seen before include "Blot out" , "Obliterate" , "Kill" , "Take out" , "Remove recorded material" .)
