Avoid love (4)
I believe the answer is:
duck
I believe this is a double definition.
'avoid' is the first definition.
(duck can mean to avoid)
'love' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for duck that I've seen before include "Avoid (tricky question)" , "Use one's wits to get something" , "eg Jemima, Donald" , "Steer clear" , "Eg, eider; get down" .)
