Take off for tricky trips (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strip

'take off' is the definition.
(stripping is a kind of taking off)

'tricky trips' is the wordplay.
'tricky' indicates anagramming the letters.
'trips' is an anagram of 'STRIP'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for strip that I've seen before include "Plunder" , "every football club needs" , "Tear off" , "sports outfit" , "Team kit" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
