In a flurry of lefts, duck and look comfortable (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loll

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'look comfortable' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'in a flurry of lefts duck' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'a flurry of' becomes 'l' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'lefts' becomes 'll' (an abbreviation for left written twice).
'duck' becomes 'o' (resembles zero - 'duck' in cricket).
'l'+'ll'='lll'
'lll' enclosing 'o' is 'LOLL'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for loll that I've seen before include "Lie sprawled" , "Slouch" , "Lie lazily" , "Lounge around" , "Hang loosely; sit lazily" .)
