Throw out for starting trouble with wicked vice (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evict

'throw out' is the definition.
(evicting is a kind of throwing out)

'starting trouble with wicked vice' is the wordplay.
'starting' says to take the initial letters.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'wicked' indicates an anagram.
The initial letter of 'trouble' is 't'.
'vice' with letters rearranged gives 'evic'.
't' put after 'evic' is 'EVICT'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for evict that I've seen before include "Eject" , "Dislodge" , "Force out of house for non-payment of rent" , "Make homeless" , "Throw out, expel" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
