Clear of blame (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vindicate

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">clear of blame</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for vindicate that I've seen before include "Successfully defend" , "Divine cat (anag.)" , "Deflect criticism" , "Justify or exonerate" , "Justify, clear" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
