Take the limelight from (7)
I believe the answer is:
upstage
'take the limelight from' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for upstage that I've seen before include "Outdo" , "eclipse" , "Be haughty towards" , "(Of actor) away from the audience" , "Divert attention from another as actor might in play" .)
