French writer appearing in European court to exit rapidly (5)
I believe the answer is:
eject
'exit rapidly' is the definition.
'eject' can be an answer for 'exit' (ejecting is a kind of exiting). I am not sure about the 'rapidly' bit.
'french writer appearing in european court' is the wordplay.
'french writer' becomes 'je' ('I' in French - I refers to the person writing).
'appearing in' is an insertion indicator.
'european' becomes 'E' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'e'+'ct'='ect'
'je' inserted inside 'ect' is 'EJECT'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eject that I've seen before include "exile" , "Turf out" , "Oust" , "bounce" , "Turn out" .)
