Remove dirt from lance frantically (5)
I believe the answer is:
clean
'remove dirt' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'lance frantically' is the wordplay.
'frantically' is an anagram indicator.
'lance' is an anagram of 'CLEAN'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for clean that I've seen before include "Pure, hygienic" , "Pure; well-defined" , "Free from contamination - entirely" , "Not obscene; smooth" , "not polluted" .)
