Extract others, reportedly (5)
I believe the answer is:
wrest
'extract' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'others reportedly' is the wordplay.
'others' becomes 'rest' (I've seen this before).
'reportedly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'rest' is a homophone of 'WREST'.
(Other definitions for wrest that I've seen before include "The old piano tuner" , "Seize (control)" , "Forcibly pull (something from someone's grip)" , "Seize forcibly" , "With difficulty obtain" .)
