Pull out of town (3)
I believe the answer is:
tow
This clue might be a double definition.
'pull' is the first definition.
(to tow is to pull or drag)
'out of town' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tow that I've seen before include "Pull along (a vehicle)" , "Pull (with rope)" , "Haul" , "Pull or drag along behind" , "Drag along behind, say barge" .)
