Fugitive’s fantastic leap across border — Steve, actor featuring at the end (9)
I believe the answer is:
ephemeral
'fugitive's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'fantastic leap across border steve actor featuring at the end' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'border' could be 'hem' (I've seen this before) and 'hem' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ephemeral that I've seen before include "not going to last long" , "staying for a little while" , "Fleeting, lasting only a short time" , "A mere help (anag) - short-lived" , "life's too short" .)
