Goes around right among some runners (6)
I believe the answer is:
skirts
'goes' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'right among some runners' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'rt'.
'among' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'some runners' becomes 'skis' (ski is a kind of runner).
'rt' placed inside 'skis' is 'SKIRTS'.
'around' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skirts that I've seen before include "Goes round the edge of - women's garments?" , "Circles women's garments?" , "Flanks" , "Goes around the edge with female garments" , "Minis, for example" .)
