Small fender bender arose (6)
I believe the answer is:
sprang
'arose' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'small fender bender' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'small' could be 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size) and 's' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'prang' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sprang that I've seen before include "Jumped suddenly" , "freed prisoner" , "Leapt foward" , "Leapt forward" , "got out of jail" .)
