Run away from a fight? How surprising! (4,4,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
bolt from the blue
'a fight? how surprising' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'run away from' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'run' could be 'bolt' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'bolt' is present in the answer.
'away' could be 'fro' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'fro' is present in the answer.
'from' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bolt from the blue that I've seen before include "unexpected event" , "Sprint by university athlete" .)
