Garment right for a runner? (5)
I believe the answer is:
skirt
'garment' is the definition.
(skirt is a kind of garment)
'right for a runner?' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'rt'.
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'a runner?' becomes 'ski' (ski is a kind of runner**).
'rt' after 'ski' is 'SKIRT'.
(Other definitions for skirt that I've seen before include "Try to avoid (a problem)" , "Go along the edge of" , "Go round the edges of" , "Fringe" , "Item of female apparel" .)
