I believe the answer is:
somehow
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">by hook or by crook?</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for somehow that I've seen before include "By unspecified means" , "For some unspecified reason" , "One way or another" , "In a way not yet specified" , "By one means or another" .)
