Being frivolous or flighty, rush off (7)
I believe the answer is:
flyaway
'being frivolous' is the definition.
('flyaway' can be similar in meaning to 'frivolous')
'flighty rush off' is the wordplay.
'flighty rush' becomes 'fly' (both can mean to hurry. I am not sure about the 'flighty' bit.).
'off' becomes 'away' (synonyms).
'fly'+'away'='FLYAWAY'
'or' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for flyaway that I've seen is " Escape by air".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
