Avoid oddly easy bite (6)
I believe the answer is:
eschew
'avoid' is the definition.
(I know this)
'oddly easy bite' is the wordplay.
'oddly' means one should take alternating letters (letters in the odd-numbered positions are used).
'bite' becomes 'chew' (chew is a kind of bite).
The alternate letters of 'easy' are 'es'.
'es'+'chew'='ESCHEW'
(Other definitions for eschew that I've seen before include "Avoid,shun" , "Steer clear of" , "Ignore" , "'Avoid, stay away from (6)'" , "Deliberately stay away from" .)
