Is obliged to get out of Torquay - quick! (5)
I believe the answer is:
hasty
'quick' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'is obliged to get out of torquay' is the wordplay.
'is obliged' becomes 'has'.
'to get' says to put letters next to each other.
'out of torquay' becomes 'ty' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'has'+'ty'='HASTY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hasty that I've seen before include "Precipitous" , "Quick - reckless" , "Rashly quick" , "Rash; thoughtless" , "Rushed; rash" .)
