Lawful escape? (5)
I believe the answer is:
legit
This might be a double definition.
'lawful' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'escape?' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for legit that I've seen before include "not unlawful" , "Briefly in accordance with law or rules" , "In accordance with the law (abbr)" , "Such theatre" , "Above board (abbr)" .)
