In a furious hurry to get from 2 (7)
I believe the answer is:
tearing
'2' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'in a furious hurry to get from' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
'from' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tearing that I've seen before include "Granite (anag.)" , "splitting" , "violent" , "'Pulling apart, ripping (7)'" .)
