Free hit to leg (3,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

let go

'free' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'hit to leg' is the wordplay.
'hit' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to'+'leg'='toleg'
'toleg' anagrammed gives 'LET GO'.

(Other definitions for let go that I've seen before include "Give up" , "Release or permit to depart" , "Discuss no further - dismiss - release" , "Relax grip and release" , "Don't hold on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
