Grab sack and ignite (9)
I believe the answer is:
catchfire
'ignite' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'grab sack' is the wordplay.
'grab' becomes 'catch' (synonyms).
'sack' becomes 'fire' (both can mean to dismiss from a job).
'catch'+'fire'='CATCHFIRE'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
