Pull out of the avenue (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heave

'pull' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'of the avenue' is the wordplay.
'of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'HEAVE' is hidden within 'the avenue'.

'out' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for heave that I've seen before include "Haul - retch" , "Express" , "Throw with force - retch" , "Throw, hurl" , "Tug-of-war shout" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The Irish Times and The Daily Express.
