'trouble' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a lordly fellow to get out of the way' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
'way' could be 's' (Compass direction - South) and 's' is found within the answer.
'fellow' could be 'peer' (I've seen this before) and 'peer' is present in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
