Right to boot out android (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

robot

'android' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'right to boot out' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'boot' is an anagram of 'obot'.
'r'+'obot'='ROBOT'

(Other definitions for robot that I've seen before include "Computer-driven entity" , "programmed servant" , "Automatic worker?" , "Automated machine" , "Programmed machine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
