California runs that continue (7)
I believe the answer is:
carryon
'continue' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'california runs that' is the wordplay.
'california' becomes 'ca' (abbreviation).
'runs' becomes 'rr' (cricket abbreviation for runs written twice).
'that' becomes 'yon' (archaic term meaning 'that').
'ca'+'rr'+'yon'='CARRYON'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
