I believe the answer is:

undo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'remove tie' is the definition.
'undo' can be an answer for 'remove' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'tie' bit.

'fellow leaving enjoyable party' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'f' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'leaving' is a deletion indicator.
'enjoyable' becomes 'fun' (fun means enjoyable or pleasing).
'party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party).
'fun' with 'f' taken away is 'un'.
'un'+'do'='UNDO'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
