Escaped to leave everything in France (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
got out
'escaped' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'to leave everything in france' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'to' is found in the answer.
'leave' could be 'go' (to go is to depart or leave) and 'go' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ut' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
