Ross

I believe the answer is:

fled

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">did a runner</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 fled that I've seen before include "Did a runner" , "Ran or hurried away" , "Female showed the way and escaped" , "Having run or hurried away" , "Left the field" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and the Wall Street Journal.
