Create a vacancy possibly (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 one could define the other.
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for evict that I've seen before include "Force out of house for non-payment of rent" , "Expel (tenant)" , "Expel from residence" , "Remove from a residence" , "Drive from home" .)
