Free (of) (3)

I believe the answer is:

rid

'free of' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rid that I've seen before include "Free, deliver, clear" , "Lose, shake off" , "Disabuse" , "Free, disencumber" , "Free (person of affliction)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate, The Telegraph, The Star Tribune, The Wall Street Journal, the Universal, the Newsday and the LA Times.
