Feel panicky and run away (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flee

'run away' is the definition.
(to flee is to run away)

'feel panicky' is the wordplay.
'panicky' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'feel' anagrammed gives 'FLEE'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for flee that I've seen before include "Take flight" , "Run quickly away" , "head for the hills" , "Maybe escape" , "Abscond" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
