displace

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'move from hell?' is the definition.
'displace' can be an answer for 'move' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'from hell?' bit.

'move from hell?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'move' could be 'place' (placing is a kind of moving) and 'place' is found within the answer.
'hell?' could be 'dis' (term for the underworld in Greek myth) and 'dis' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
