            The chemical symbol for arsenic is As, which is the first word of the clue.

                  As to coin a phrase: "Cuckoo a hop away"

                  "Cuckoo" indicates an anagram.
                  "Coin a phrase" is the fodder for the anagram.
                  "A hop away" indicates the letters AHOP are to be excluded from the anagram.

                      It wasn't one of my great clues, I must admit.

                          Is the unusual punctuation at the end deliberate?

                                              Is "left out" the answer to the last one? I don't follow.

                                                Friday Cryptic Crossword Game

                                                Yes it is. "Left out" meaning "omitted", and "left" and "out" being a couple of contranyms.

                                                I seem to have inadvertently been quite opaque in my clueing recently. I shall endeavour to be more straightforward in future.

                                                  Left=departed and left=abandoned, yes? I get it.

                                                  And out is a contronym in that "cricket for foreigners "gag--but other than that, is it a contronym?
