'got rid of' is the definition.
('abolish' can be a synonym of 'get rid of')

'sailor who scattered oil on hut' is the wordplay.
'sailor who' becomes 'ab' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'scattered' indicates an anagram.
'on' indicates putting letters inside (as in clothing 'on' a person).
'hut' becomes 'shed' (hut in a garden).
'oil' anagrammed gives 'oli'.
'ab' put inside 'oli' is 'aboli'.
'aboli'+'shed'='ABOLISHED'
