Evict some impecunious tenants (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oust

'evict' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'some impecunious tenants' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'OUST' can be found hidden inside 'impecunious tenants'.

(Other definitions for oust that I've seen before include "kick out" , "Remove from a position of power" , "Expel - eject" , "Remove or reject from position" , "Overthrow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Irish News.
