'momentarily' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'run away from a prickling sensation' is the wordplay.
'run away from' becomes 'flee' (I've seen this in another clue).
'a prickling sensation' becomes 'tingly' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'flee'+'tingly'='FLEETINGLY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fleetingly that I've seen before include "for a short time" , "for a brief moment" , "momentarily" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
