Hare from southern Madras? (6)
I believe the answer is:
scurry
'hare' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'southern madras?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'southern' could be 's' (abbreviation) and 's' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'curry' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scurry that I've seen before include "short horse race" , "Scuttle" , "Bustle" , "Scamper" , "Move quickly" .)
