Strip, as in disrobing (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rob

'strip' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'in disrobing' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ROB' can be found hidden inside 'disrobing'.

'as' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rob that I've seen before include "Take something without the owner's consent" , "Plunder" , "Burgle" , "Steal from (someone)" , "Mug, say" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
