Taking out "family background" (10)
I believe the answer is:
extraction
'taking out family' is the definition.
'extraction' can be an answer for 'family' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'taking out' bit.
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for extraction that I've seen before include "breeding" , "Dental operation" , "one suffers with mouth open?" , "drawing" , "Ethnic origin" .)
