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'm not certain of the 'quickly' bit.
'virginia gets animal' is the wordplay.
'virginia' becomes 'va' (US state abbreviation).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'animal' becomes 'moose' (type of animal).
'va'+'moose'='VAMOOSE'
'to' acts as a 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)" .)
