Crossword Genius

Take off for trips, perhaps (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strip

'take off' is the definition.
(I know that strip is a more specific form of the action take off)

'trips perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates anagramming the letters.
'trips' anagrammed gives 'STRIP'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for strip that I've seen before include "Take off clothing" , "Dismantle" , "Divest - team's garb" , "Undress completely" , "Remove clothing" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
