Rob moves rep into seedy club (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deprive

'rob' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'moves rep into seedy club' is the wordplay.
'moves' indicates anagramming the letters.
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'seedy club' becomes 'dive'.
'rep' is an anagram of 'epr'.
'epr' put into 'dive' is 'DEPRIVE'.

(Other definitions for deprive that I've seen before include "Dispossess (someone of something)" , "Prevent (someone) from having" , "Take away from, prevent from enjoying" , "Debar from enjoyment" , "Withhold - divest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
