Take weapons from leader of militia after fresh raids (6)
I believe the answer is:
disarm
'take weapons from' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'leader of militia after fresh raids' is the wordplay.
'leader of' suggests taking the first letters.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'fresh' is an anagram indicator.
The first letter of 'militia' is 'm'.
'raids' anagrammed gives 'disar'.
'm' after 'disar' is 'DISARM'.
(Other definitions for disarm that I've seen before include "Confiscate weapon or mollify" , "Pacify" , "Take weapons from or captivate" , "Relieve of weapons" , "Make less hostile, win over" .)
