Trunk roots disturbed (5)
I believe the answer is:
torso
'trunk' is the definition.
(both can mean a person's chest)
'roots disturbed' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' is an anagram indicator.
'roots' with letters rearranged gives 'TORSO'.
(Other definitions for torso that I've seen before include "Body, minus its head and limbs" , "Body without head, neck and limbs" , "Body's trunk" , "Trunk; headless, limbless body" , "Body's core" .)
