Crossword Genius

Send out or bash in, possibly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

banish

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

'send out' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't see how one could define the other.

'bash in possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bash'+'in'='bashin'
'bashin' with letters rearranged gives 'BANISH'.

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for banish that I've seen before include "Exile in ash-bin" , "'Cast out, ostracise (6)'" , "Exile (someone)" , "Send (someone) away" , "Deport, exile" .)
