Crossword Genius

Arrive and greet the assembly (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

get there

'arrive' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'greet the assembly' is the wordplay.
'assembly' is an anagram indicator.
'greet'+'the'='greetthe'
'greetthe' anagrammed gives 'GET THERE'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for get there that I've seen before include "Order to move away" , "understand what is meant" , "succeed" , "Achieve one's object" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
