Disencumber (3)

I believe the answer is:

rid

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for rid that I've seen before include "Free (person of affliction)" , "Free, relieve" , "Free (someone of something unwanted)" , "Throw off, unburden" , "Free, disencumber" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Star Tribune and the Sydney Morning Herald.
