I leave this court struggling to find a quicker way (8)
I believe the answer is:
shortcut
'a quicker way' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'i leave this court struggling' is the wordplay.
'leave' suggests deleting specific letters.
'struggling' is an anagram indicator (the letters struggle or wriggle into a new form).
'this'+'court'='thiscourt'
'thiscourt' with 'i' taken away is 'thscourt'.
'thscourt' is an anagram of 'SHORTCUT'.
'to find' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for shortcut that I've seen before include "way to save time" , "more direct route" , "Number one" , "route for saving time" , "quicker way" .)
