'keep away' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't see how they can define each other.

'clue des reworked' is the wordplay.
'reworked' indicates an anagram.
'clue'+'des'='cluedes'
'cluedes' is an anagram of 'SECLUDE'.

'from' acts as a link.
