Answer to the NYT crossword clue On the ___ featured in the NYT puzzle is LAM.

The phrase "on the LAM" is an idiom that means to be in flight or on the run, typically to avoid arrest or capture by law enforcement authorities. It originated in American slang in the early 20th century and is often used colloquially to describe someone who is evading authorities or hiding from legal consequences.

Being "on the LAM" implies a sense of fugitive status, where an individual may be moving from place to place, staying hidden or under the radar to avoid detection. The term "LAM" itself is thought to derive from the Old Norse word "lam," meaning "a stroke," which evolved in English slang to mean "a hasty escape."

In popular culture and literature, characters may go "on the LAM" to elude pursuers or escape from situations where they are wanted or in trouble with the law. It conveys a sense of urgency and the need for stealthy movement to evade capture or punishment.
