Difficult actress runs away (5)
I believe the answer is:
steep
'difficult' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for steep that I've seen before include "over the top" , "Sheer, precipitous" , "pickle" , "Rapidly rising" , "Unreasonably dear - soak" .)
