Takes out poet (5)
I believe the answer is:
keats
'poet' is the definition.
(John Keats)
'takes out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'takes' anagrammed gives '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" .)
