Take out ad in support of peacekeepers (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unplug

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

'take out' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'ad in support of peacekeepers' is the wordplay.
'ad' becomes 'plug' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in support of' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'peacekeepers' becomes 'un'.
'plug' after 'un' is 'UNPLUG'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unplug that I've seen before include "Disconnect (an electrical device)" , "Remove from a socket" , "Disconnect (kettle or toaster?)" , "Disconnect from power" , "Remove a blockage from" .)
