Find a method of escape (7)

I believe the answer is:

getaway

'escape' is the definition.
(I know that getaway is a type of escape)

'find a method' is the wordplay.
'find' becomes 'get' (synonyms).
'method' becomes 'way' (way of doing something).
'get'+'a'+'way'='GETAWAY'

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for getaway that I've seen before include "flight" , "Escape" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
