Run, if only just? (6)
I believe the answer is:
manage
'run' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for manage that I've seen before include "Be in overall control of" , "Run, oversee" , "Run; cope" , "Run, be in charge of" , "Run, administer" .)
