See carp as the one that got away (7)
I believe the answer is:
escaper
'one that got away' is the definition.
'see carp as' is the wordplay.
'see carp' anagrams to 'ESCAPER'.
However, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for escaper that I've seen before include "One who gets away" , "one getting away" , "One making a getaway" , "it's no longer caged" , "One runs away" .)
