A low gear, in some strange way, is making it fast (7)
I believe the answer is:
moorage
'a low gear in some strange way is making it fast' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'low gear in some strange way is making it fast' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'low' could be 'moo' (both can mean to make the noise of a cow) and 'moo' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'gear' is 'rage' which is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for moorage that I've seen before include "Making fast" , "Place for a ship to make fast" , "Berthing fee" , "Fee paid for tying up a boat" , "Securing of craft" .)
