Virginia gets animal to depart quickly (7)
I believe the answer is:
vamoose
'depart quickly' is the definition.
'vamoose' can be an answer for 'depart' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'quickly' bit.
'virginia gets animal' is the wordplay.
'virginia' becomes 'va' (US state abbreviation).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'animal' becomes 'moose' (type of animal).
'va'+'moose'='VAMOOSE'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vamoose that I've seen before include "Do a runner" , "Shoo!" , "Sling your hook!" , "vanish" , "Skedaddle - some ova (anag)" .)
