Displaces from a place (7)

I believe the answer is:

uproots

(Other definitions for uproots that I've seen before include "Completely destroys" , "Tears from natural habitat or ground" , "Eradicates" , "tears out of bed" , "Pulls (a plant) out of the ground" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
