Crossword Genius

Rushed out of Grantham (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ran

'rushed' is the definition.

'out of grantham' is the wordplay.
'out of' indicates a hidden word.
'RAN' is hidden in the letters of 'grantham'.

(Other definitions for ran that I've seen before include "Operated; hurried" , "Administered" , "Moved fast or managed" , "Entered an election or managed" , "Stood for election or managed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
