Drive away from one small lake in Dodge (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dislodge

'drive away' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'one small lake in dodge' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'lake' becomes 'L' (geographical abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'i'+'s'+'l'='isl'
'isl' going inside 'dodge' is 'DISLODGE'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for dislodge that I've seen before include "put out" , "Knock out of a fixed position" , "Knock or force out of position" , "remove from place" , "Force from an established position" .)
