Got away, broke free (7)
I believe the answer is:
escaped
This clue is a double definition.
'got away' is the first definition.
('escape' can be a synonym of 'get away')
'broke free' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for escaped that I've seen before include "Got away, broke loose" , "Ran away from confinement" , "Fled from captivity" , "gone!" , "Got away from captors" .)
