Dodgy thing to do, being possibly due for a bit of help (5)
I believe the answer is:
elude
'dodgy thing to do' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'possibly due for a bit of help' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'a bit of help' becomes 'el' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'due' anagrammed gives 'ude'.
'ude' put after 'el' is 'ELUDE'.
'being' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elude that I've seen before include "Evade; baffle" , "Escape by stratagem" , "Avoid (e.g. capture)" , "Escape adroitly" , "Puzzle" .)
