Create a vacancy perhaps (5)
I believe the answer is:
evict
'create' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't see how they can define each other.
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for evict that I've seen before include "Oust" , "remove from home" , "Drive from home" , "Turn out of home" , "Civet (anag.)" .)
