Takes out poet (5)
I believe the answer is:
keats
'poet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'takes out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'takes' is an anagram of 'KEATS'.
(Other definitions for keats that I've seen before include "John -, Endymion poet" , "John --, English poet" , "Author of the poem Ode to a Nightingale, d. 1821" , "John - - (19)" , "Author of Endymion and Ode to a Nightingale" .)
