Some cancel operations and run away! (5)

I believe the answer is:

elope

'run away' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'some cancel operations and' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'ELOPE' can be found hidden inside 'cancel operations and'.

(Other definitions for elope that I've seen before include "Run away in secret" , "Run off with Mr/Ms Right" , "(Lovers) run away" , "do a moonlight flit" , "run off with another?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
