Remove a line with time for a rewrite (9)
I believe the answer is:
eliminate
'remove' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a line with time for a rewrite' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'for a rewrite' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'line'='aline'
'aline' after 'time' is 'timealine'.
'timealine' is an anagram of 'ELIMINATE'.
(Other definitions for eliminate that I've seen before include "Discard - exclude" , "Remove from contention" , "Cut out" , "defeat" , "Annihilate" .)
