Crossword Genius

...illegal say, getting draw out (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elicit

'draw out' is the definition.
('elicit' can be a synonym of 'draw out')

'illegal say' is the wordplay.
'illegal' becomes 'illicit' ('illicit' can be similar in meaning to 'illegal').
'say' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'illicit' is a homophone of 'ELICIT'.

'getting' is the link.

(Other definitions for elicit that I've seen before include "'Draw out, evoke (6)'" , "Get out" , "Draw out from, meaning or response" , "Obtain" , "Bring something out into the open" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
