Drive away from one small lake in Kansas City (8)
I believe the answer is:
dislodge
'drive away' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'one small lake in kansas city' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'lake' becomes 'l'.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'kansas city' becomes 'dodge' (I've seen this before).
'i'+'s'+'l'='isl'
'isl' put inside 'dodge' is 'DISLODGE'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for dislodge that I've seen before include "put out" , "Remove from established position" , "Gods lied (anag.)" , "Glided so as to move from established position" , "Move from a fixed position" .)
