hurdled

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'with time being taken dashed over hazard ultimately' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'time being taken dashed over hazard ultimately' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'being taken' suggests deleting specific letters.
'dashed' becomes 'hurtled'.
'over' indicates putting letters inside.
'hazard ultimately' becomes 'd' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'hurtled' with 't' taken away is 'hurled'.
'hurled' enclosing 'd' is 'HURDLED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for hurdled that I've seen is " Skipped over".)
