Make off, do a runner (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abscond

I believe this is a double definition.

'make off' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'do a runner' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for abscond that I've seen before include "desert" , "cut and run" , "Leave hurriedly (to avoid arrest)" , "Leave quickly and secretly" , "Leave hurriedly to escape a legal process" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
