It's clear the girl has a cute wiggle (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evacuate

'it's clear' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'girl has a cute wiggle' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'eva' (girl's name).
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'wiggle' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'cute'='acute'
'acute' is an anagram of 'cuate'.
'eva'+'cuate'='EVACUATE'

'the' is the link.

(Other definitions for evacuate that I've seen before include "In wartime, remove civilians from cities to safety of countryside" , "Leave (a place of danger)" , "Make people leave a dangerous location" , "Move out of an unsafe location" , "flee" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
