Fasteners for flies? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

zips

I believe this is a double definition.

'fasteners' is the first definition.
(zip is a kind of fastener)

'flies?' is the second definition.
(zip can mean to move or fly around quickly)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for zips that I've seen before include "Shutters" , "Slide fasteners" , "Trouser fasteners" , "Dispatches" , "speeds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
