'in' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'a quick yell gets ours running' is the wordplay.
'a quick yell' becomes 'cry' (synonyms. I am not sure about the 'quick' bit.).
'gets' is an insertion indicator (gets can mean captures or absorbs).
'running' is an anagram indicator (the letters run around to different places).
'ours' anagrammed gives 'urso'.
'cry' enclosing 'urso' is 'CURSORY'.

Can you help me to learn more?
