Skirts editor agrees oddly to be removed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edges

'skirts' is the definition.

'editor agrees oddly to be removed' is the wordplay.
'editor' becomes 'ed'.
'oddly to be removed' means one should take alternating letters.
The alternating letters of 'agrees' are 'ges'.
'ed'+'ges'='EDGES'

(Other definitions for edges that I've seen before include "Outer limits" , "They're used for cutting" , "They're farthest from the middle" , "Boundaries of a surface" , "Slowly moves" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
