A humorous way to get down (6)
I believe the answer is:
alight
'get down' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a humorous way' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'light' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alight that I've seen before include "Descend, being on fire" , "Ignited; get off" , "in flames" , "(Of bird) settle" , "Step off the bus because it's on fire?" .)
