Take out more? Cashpoint is empty (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extract

'take out' is the definition.
(I know that take out can be written as extract)

'more? cashpoint is empty' is the wordplay.
'more?' becomes 'extra' (I've seen this before).
'is empty' means to remove the middle letters.
'cashpoint' with its centre removed is 'ct'.
'extra'+'ct'='EXTRACT'

(Other definitions for extract that I've seen before include "Derive, distil" , "Pull or take out - maybe a tooth" , "Pluck out" , "Short excerpt" , "Pull out - quotation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
