Dodge some recalled in depressed avenue (5)
I believe the answer is:
evade
'dodge' is the definition.
('evade' can be a synonym of 'dodge')
'some recalled in depressed avenue' is the wordplay.
'some recalled' is a reversal indicator.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'edave' is hidden in the letters of 'depressed avenue'.
'edave' written backwards gives 'EVADE'.
(Other definitions for evade that I've seen before include "Sidestep" , "avoid answering" , "Hedge" , "Slyly escape" , "Escape, avoid" .)
