'move abroad' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for emigrate that I've seen before include "Tiger Mae has gone abroad to live, oddly" , "Go to live and work in another country" , "Gear item (anag.)" , "Leave the country to settle abroad" , "Settle overseas" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
