Hurt as one rushed to get out of the rain (8)
I believe the answer is:
sprained
'hurt as one rushed' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'get out of the rain' is the wordplay.
'get' becomes 'sped' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'out of' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'sped' enclosing 'rain' is 'SPRAINED'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sprained that I've seen before include "Wrenched a ligament, causing pain and swelling" , "Ricked" .)
