Posh girl upset by model runs away (4,2)
I believe the answer is:
legs it
'runs away' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'posh girl upset by model' is the wordplay.
'posh girl' becomes 'gel' (I've seen this in other clues).
'upset' is a reversal indicator.
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'model' becomes 'sit' (e.g. for a painting).
'gel' in reverse letter order is 'leg'.
'leg'+'sit'='LEGS IT'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
