Crossword Genius

The victor gets to remove (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evict

'remove' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'the victor gets' is the wordplay.
'gets' indicates a hidden word.
'EVICT' is hidden in the letters of 'the victor'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for evict that I've seen before include "Eject" , "Throw from the premises" , "Throw out (from home)" , "Expel from a dwelling" , "Put out of house as for non-payment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
