Being frivolous or flighty, rush off (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flyaway

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

'being frivolous' is the definition.
('flyaway' can be similar in meaning to 'frivolous')

'flighty rush off' is the wordplay.
'flighty rush' becomes 'fly' (both can mean to hurry. I am not sure about the 'flighty' bit.).
'off' becomes 'away' (synonyms).
'fly'+'away'='FLYAWAY'

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for flyaway that I've seen is " Escape by air".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
