Garment right for a runner? (5)
I believe the answer is:
skirt
'garment' is the definition.
(I know that Skirt is a garment)
'right for a runner?' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'rt' (abbreviation as in Rt Hon- the Right Honourable).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'a runner?' becomes 'ski' (something which 'runs', ie moves quickly on snow).
'rt' put 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" .)
