Remove unrealistic summary (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abstract

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'remove' is the first definition.
(abstract can mean to extract or remove)

'unrealistic summary' is the second definition.
'abstract' can be an answer for 'summary' (abstract is a kind of summary). I'm not sure about the 'unrealistic' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for abstract that I've seen before include "Rothko work?" , "Extract; summary" , "Summary (of an article)" , "Take away - what can't be seen" , "Art form; remove" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Sun.
