Savage — time to oust one, right? (9)
I believe the answer is:
veracious
'right?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'savage time to oust one' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'time' could be 'era' (era is a kind of time) and 'era' is located in the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
(Other definitions for veracious that I've seen before include "truthful" , "Honest" , "Unvarnished" .)
