Eating quickly and absconding (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bolting

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'eating quickly' is the first definition.
'bolting' can be an answer for 'eating' (bolting is a kind of eating). I am unsure of the 'quickly' bit.

'absconding' is the second definition.
('bolt' can be a synonym of 'abscond')

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for bolting that I've seen is " Running away without warning".)
