24a will jump to avoid sword pinning one with one leg (8) V-L-T---

I can see that this must be VOLITION which means will... but I can't parse the rest of the clue.

Thanks

Many thanks - I see! i was hung up on vault for jump and therefore got stuck.
where does 'sword' come into it?
Volt is a jump to avoid a sword thrust.
Volt is a term used in fencing meaning a move to avoid a thrust (I've just discovered).
thank you
