One got shot running out from the lift (5)
I believe the answer is:
hoist
'out from the lift' is the definition.
'hoist' can be an answer for 'lift' (hoist can mean to lift something up). I am unsure of the 'out from the' bit.
'one got shot running' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'got' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'running' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'shot'='ishot'
'ishot' is an anagram of 'HOIST'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hoist that I've seen before include "Lift (mechanically)" , "Wind up" , "Give a lift" , "Lift up; device for this" , "elevator" .)
