Clare removed net (5)

I believe the answer is:

clear

'net' is the definition.
('clear' can be similar in meaning to 'net')

'clare removed' is the wordplay.
'removed' indicates an anagram (moved again).
'clare' anagrammed gives 'CLEAR'.

(Other definitions for clear that I've seen before include "Lucid, transparent" , "Plain; unblock" , "Disengaged" , "Transparent or cloudless" , "Fair - innocent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
