Roguish man gets out of parade (4)
I believe the answer is:
arch
'roguish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arch that I've seen before include "Marble, for example" , "Foremost" , "Coyly playful" , "Chief: crafty" , "Roguish - chief - supporter" .)
