Moved judge jails old king over daughter (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relocated

'moved' is the definition.
(moved elsewhere)

'judge jails old king over daughter' is the wordplay.
'judge' becomes 'rate' (rating is a kind of judging).
'jails' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are kept or jailed).
'old king' becomes 'cole' (nursery rhyme character Old King Cole).
'over' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'cole' reversed gives 'eloc'.
'rate' going around 'eloc' is 'relocate'.
'relocate'+'d'='RELOCATED'

(Another definition for relocated that I've seen is " Moved to a different place".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
