Leave to avoid arrest (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abscond

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">leave to avoid arrest</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for abscond that I've seen before include "Flee" , "Steal away" , "Leave hurriedly (to avoid arrest)" , "Go away secretly after wrongdoing" , "Leave quickly to avoid punishment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
