Crossword Genius

Intelligent dash display (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fly

This clue is a triple definition!

'intelligent' is the first definition.
(fly can mean shrewd or astute)

'dash' is the second definition.
(dash can mean to fly away)

'display' is the third definition.
(as in flying a flag)

(Other definitions for fly that I've seen before include "Insect; move quickly" , "Run away; smart (colloq.)" , "Travel through the air" , "Two-winged insect" , "SECOND PART OF 14" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
