Person in attendance cleared out home (5)
I believe the answer is:
abode
'home' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'person in attendance cleared' is the wordplay.
'person' becomes 'bod' (bod can informally mean a person or body).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'cleared' suggests removing the centre (the inside letters are cleared out).
'attendance' with its middle taken out is 'ae'.
'bod' inserted inside 'ae' is 'ABODE'.
'out' is the link.
(Other definitions for abode that I've seen before include "Home or domicile" , "Dwelling, residence" , "House, home" , "Pad" , "Where one lives" .)
