Crossword Genius

Get away somewhat unscathed (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scat

'get away' is the definition.
(scat can mean to run away)

'somewhat unscathed' is the wordplay.
'somewhat' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'SCAT' is hidden within 'unscathed'.

(Other definitions for scat that I've seen before include "vocal style?" , "One way of singing" , "Style of jazz singing" , "Bolt" , "Dropping" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
