Breaking free (8)

I believe the answer is:

escaping

'breaking free' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for escaping that I've seen before include "Getting free" , "Breaking free" , "Breaking out of confinement" , "Getting away from confinement" , "Fleeing" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Irish Times.
