Hurry from witch as terrible threats are made (5)
I believe the answer is:
haste
'hurry' is the definition.
(haste is hurrying or rushing)
'witch as terrible threats are made' is the wordplay.
'HASTE' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm not sure how the hidden word is indicated.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for haste that I've seen before include "Urgency of action" , "Speediness or rush" , "Over-eager speed" , "Leader abandons modest" , "Rushing (but with less speed?)" .)
