clear 1 (v.)
has several combined forms:
to clear away is “to remove clutter from a space” (We cleared away all the downed trees and branches); to clear off is “to go away, to leave” (The owner ordered us to clear off) or “for the bad weather to go away”; to clear up means “to remove all irrelevant matters or unnecessary things” (His testimony cleared up the problem), “for symptoms to disappear” (His headaches cleared up after the change in diet), or “for the weather to brighten” (The clouds cleared up, and the sun came out). To clear the air is also idiomatic in a figurative sense, meaning “to rid the atmosphere of unpleasantness, emotional stresses, and the like,” and to be in the clear means “to be free of suspicion, physical danger, or other threats.”
