Avoids the possibility of being sued by the Spanish (6)
I believe the answer is:
eludes
'avoids' is the definition.
(I know this)
'possibility of being sued by the spanish' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'sued' is 'udes' which is within the answer.
'spanish' could be 'el' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'el' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eludes that I've seen before include "Dodges, stays away from" , "Dodges, escapes capture" , "Gets away from" , "Dodges, escapes skilfully from" , "Escapes skilfully from, avoids" .)
