Dislodged key men (7)
I believe the answer is:
evicted
'dislodged key men' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
This is the entire clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for evicted that I've seen before include "Legally dispossessed" , "Ejected from a property" , "Expelled from property" , "Ousted" , "Put out" .)
