Nick dislodged slate (5)
I believe the answer is:
steal
'nick' is the definition.
(nick can informally mean to steal)
'dislodged slate' is the wordplay.
'dislodged' indicates an anagram.
'slate' anagrammed gives 'STEAL'.
(Other definitions for steal that I've seen before include "Nick" , "Shoplift" , "Snatch" , "Creep" , "Whip" .)
