Pull from the avenue (5)

I believe the answer is:

heave

'pull' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'from the avenue' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'HEAVE' can be found hidden inside 'the avenue'.

(Other definitions for heave that I've seen before include "Haul - retch" , "Produce (a sigh); lift" , "Throw; haul by rope (naut.)" , "Drag" , "Swell; throw" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
