Run and hide (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pelt

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'hide' is the second definition.
(I know that hide can be written as pelt)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pelt that I've seen before include "Run fast - hide - pepper" , "Rain cats and dogs" , "Subject to bombardment" , "Hide; rain" , "Skin; run fast" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail, The Times and The Guardian.
