Hasty escape (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lam

'hasty escape' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lam that I've seen before include "Batter" , "Hit hard, strike" , "On this, you're in flight, especially from the police" , "On this, you're fleeing, from the police" , "Go on the - - , (US sl.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, The New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, The Wall Street Journal, the Newsday and the LA Times.
